Adolescently clever plan
Concocted by anxious minds
Jostling for position.
Fragile egos contrive
A storyline whereby
Half the population
Huddles at the mercy of
Self-appointed masters,
Insecure autocrats with
Weak self-esteem
Dominating others to
Feel better about themselves.
The broken leading the
Unfortunate, artificial
Power differentials,
Brutally imposed order.
