Watch the women now
Speak more truth with more power
Than so-called leaders can comprehend.
See them define with clarity
What’s said is “too complicated” to understand.
Look at the women
Who we’re told cannot lead.
Interesting.
I see them now
Leading.
Better than I’ve seen before. Better than religious lore.
They rise
With inevitability of desert flowers
From soil your toxins choked.
Their resilience will be your downfall
Watch as they hand you your rope.
Try to strip us of the wisdom
Our ancestors already learned.
You can’t.
What is in our bones is magical
And will not be unmoored.
I cannot wait for aliens to save us
They are taking far too long
I cannot wait for healthy male ego
That insanity is too far gone.
The Yang is far too dominant
Dragon breath torches the earth.
As we choke on sickly energies
Waiting for rebirth.
But I watch her words
And hers, and hers,
The answer won’t come from him.
No more hims with jet-fueled decisions.
The answers are hers and hers.
Yin.
