This Patriarchal Scheme
If one person’s rights are threatened,
Then no one’s rights are safe.
The weaker ones are the first to go—
The poor, the despised, the waif…
The few will rule the many
When the Masculine rules supreme,
It is our good earth’s trauma—
This patriarchal scheme.
The spoil and ruin of treasures,
Both human and of earth,
As the unbridled, unbalanced greed and lust
Desecrate real things of worth.
ã3 December 1993, Daphne Yvonne Bradshaw.
