Patriarchy Kills The Patriarch (CW: Emotional abuse, graphic imagery) My mother told me I won today I said the last word All I know is how to tell the truth I bore my heart like I have always done Hoping he would see my humanity and love me If I won why does it fee like I still lossed? I did not berate him I did not dominate him If I won what was my weapon? My heart? Fighting with the blade of compassion? The fiery edge of empathy? The hammer of humanity? What choice weapon did I have? The truth is patriarchy won My dad took his own weapons Birthrighted by patriarchy Fire and Fuel And lit the Earth beneath his feet Life long death by slow burn Fueled by fits of self destruction How did I win when patriarchy took my father from me? Patriarchy kills the patriarch Patriarchy give cis men the flog, the bludgeon the spear, the uncontrollable fire, the fuel They pulverize themselves while lighting everyone and everything a flame Patriarchy kills the patriarch Don’t-deny these battle wounds came from him Don’t-deny his flagrant cut of 1,000 knives Don’t-deny his cannon ball going through my abdomen My old battle scars are starting to ooze with complicated grief Sores from patriarchy killing the patriarch I write this for those who have sown themselves back together For the people stitching their own skin Those who battle themselves because their body was a battlefield I write this from surviving battle to let you know your iron clad heart will endure the war The heavy weight of armored-amor will protect you You are endowed with the regenerative power of the strength and wisdom You are your own healer Antidote to the poison You will endure because patriarchy kills the patriarch I will be your angel on the battlefield My sister-brother My brother-sister My non-binary kin Whispering strategies of survival I will help you doge the blows Giving you life so you can carry out victory I will be with you until the end Until there is no need for patriarchy to kill the patriarch I am with you in this ancient struggle Until we beat the patriarch and end the patriarchy Until we are all free
