“Here’s a thought – made by a man I might add! Earth is about to die if we don’t fix everything. For the most part throughout history until now each country has been ruled by lead to destruction by a greedy Patriarch. Maybe, now its time to allow matriarchs to rule with love and kindness so Earth has a chance. What do you think?”
I wrote this poem in answer to the following prompts:
FOWC with Fandango — Patriarch
Your Daily Word — Beseem
Ragtag Daily Word — Radical
A Matriarch’s Time
Patriarch – the mighty king
Matriarch – the caring queen
He rules everything
She cares, is never obscene
He rules with an iron fist
She rules with a kind heart
Obey him or he’ll be pissed
Need help, she’ll send a full cart
Patriarch is full of greed
Matriarch spreads a loving feeling
He’ll tax you until you bleed
She’ll give medication for healing
His world is falling apart
She has radical rescue plans
He won’t pay to make a start
She’s implementing plastic bans
Patriarch – beseem destruction and death
Matriarch – beseem healing and rebirth
Let him take his last breath
Empower her to save the earth
Thanks for reading my friends.

I think you are too young to remember Margaret Thatcher, and the evil she wrought on the UK.

I remember Margret Thatcher. She tough and got a lot done. Many didn’t like her but I stand by my thoughts. If we empower the right ladies they will fight for earth where no male leaders will.

I bet there have been a few tough, greedy, iron-fisted matriarchs throughout history.

Not nearly as many as Patriarchs. Look at America. They wont put a lady president in. She’ll ban guns, she’ll retrain the police and fire a lot of old hats in the process. She’ll set equal pay for everyone and stop racism. That’ll upset all the rich white guys so a female will never get in. I believe ladies will change and save the world but only if we get the right ones in power.
