Feminist Vogue
Women expelled
pushed to rim
buried under snowdrifts
in earlier epochs
signaling mounting
phobic masculinity.
Presumptuous paper mountains
pile up academically learnedly
writers postmodernist bourgeoisie
dispute white male middle class
dominant discourse disclaimed
centre focus on discourse of other.
Autumn thaw
snow melts
washing away
discourse
illegible illegitimate.
In a classical era narcotic
Sibylline raving discourse
was translated hailed officially
as indisputable revelation oracle
god spoken charged for accordingly.
Was revelation the ultimate
in recognized esteemed fabled
female divine ancestral wisdom?
Or another glaring example exhibiting an
established manipulative male priesthood?
Ultimately entrenched power
is derived from concerted ability
displayed by reining puppet masters
pulling skillfully plied hidden strings
which make plebeian masses dance magically.
Is this dance madness
or artistry magnificent?
Victors, vanquished, masses,
scholars, paupers and history
may all beg to differ
their postulated synopsis
dramatically and significantly
in inscribed or transcribed reviews.

Political Discourse
Political discourse
Good and pious for the
Country you have
If it is positive
And you are not here
To Pollute this anyway
Political discourse
Is not mud-slinging
And muck-raking exercise
Political discourse
Again not
Inflated rhetoric.

But one did not do feminist theory, as such, in those days, not only because male academic discourse did not recognize such a term, but especially because the women's movement did not either.

Intelligent Discourse!
liberation...
intelligent discourse,
opposing sides presented
with respectful candor.
the willingness to listen,
and to hear!
the unified decision to change,
evolving, as fire and water
coexist!
the bridge between us
built by both sides!
the first steps in crossing....
intelligent discourse!

Of Things Missed
So many, the people
With clear cold command
Of the language
And fully utilized by them
in daily discourse
And yet know little, or not…
Of the texture and design
In the weave of the words, and
Know or suffer not
A whit or hint of remorse
Of the richness of
The pleasures inherent
Tho' obviously to most,
not apparent
In the daily, depths
Of Deep discourse
The wealth of treasure
In daily words
By most is simply, sadly, missed
Yet in the majority not e'en noticed
For most…ignorance is bliss

The Racial Gun!
the racial gun
has always been pointed
at the masses....
by those who control us
for their own benefit.
'keep them afraid of each other,
make them hate each other,
tell them they're different! ....
anything to keep them
from realizing they're all human,
and joining together! '
anything to keep us from rising up,
and throwing off the chains
of oppression!
folks, there's only two kinds of people....
the masses, struggling, working, needing,
living, loving... just trying to get by....
all different colors, male and female....
and the ones who keep their finger on us,
well hidden, well insulated....
who take from us to feed their greed!

We, the most powerful democracy in the world, have developed a strong norm against talking about politics. It's fine to talk about politics with people you agree with. But it is rude to argue about politics with people you disagree with. Political discourse becomes isolated, and isolated discourse becomes more extreme. We say what our friends want to hear, and hear very little beyond what our friends say.

Your Hero
The heroes of the masses they live for their renown
And the masses create their heroes and then drag their heroes down
And the masses are unpredictable they change from day to day
And some of their heroes like the Autumn flowers are quick to fade away.
Yet there are millions of unsung heroes and they live on every street
And every day a hero I feel privileged to meet
True heroes male and female yet by the masses unsung
The World is full of heroes of heroes old and young.
Some heroes of the masses are arrogant and proud
And their egos over-swollen from the adulation of the crowd
But give me the unsung heroes who go their own quiet way
Who out of the kindness of their hearts perform one good deed every day.
Many heroes of the masses are not heroes to me
Though every day I walk the street some true hero I do see
Your hero is chauffeur driven and drinks the most expensive wine
And you can have your hero but your hero isn't mine.

Josejoi Banzai
Two thousand years of male society,
Smoke-filled land of the rising sun.
History indicates that they're good for nothing,
Time has come for all male retirement.
It's time for women to show her true self,
With women soul and power let's open a new era.
Female-up, position banzai,
Female-up, position banzai.
Two thousand years of male society,
Mah-jong ridden land of the rising sun.
History shows that they're good for nothing,
Time has come for female-up position.
It's time for women to show her true power,
With women soul and power let's open a new era.
Female-up, position banzai,
Female-up, position banzai.
Two thousand years of male society,
Violence-controlled land of the rising sun.
History shows that they're good for nothing,
Time has come for women's solidarity.
It's time for women to sing her true song,
With women soul and power let's create a new era.
Female-up, position banzai,
Female-up, position banzai.

Proof Of Divine Obedience
True seeker of universal wisdom
read divine word for coded meaning
all human history rendered melted
down into one distinct residue
all ages governments societies laws
technologies knowledge distilled
secret text now clear to read
those who obey God
those who obey Satan.
All history decoded
is proof of divine obedience
or Satanic discourse.
'Oh, Creator and Director of this drama
Change... Script and role of your puppets
Before... drama could take a tragic course.'
Worthy prayer but where
is surge prayer prayed
for world peace global?
Script has a mighty purpose
but puppets
must dance on choice string
humanity was given
free choice
greed is but one
demon seed power ring.
Only when key
commandments
are obeyed
do civilizations
freedom sing.

Male/Female
i find it sad how men,
in their 'infinite wisdom',
throughout the centuries,
have created a male world,
driven by a male ego,
controlled by male wisdom,
under the banner of a male god,
created in the image of man!
and yet the power of creation
has always dwelled in the feminine...
wisdom, passion, eros, beauty,
and even childbirth...
men in their fear of what they
dont understand, and of what they
cant do in themselves...
have always sought to keep the female
down, regulating her to second class
status, keeping her subjugated.
look at how we've ended up! a total
disaster created by self oriented fear!
i think it's time we stepped back, and
looked at the truth!
we wouldnt be here without women...
would have very little understanding
of love and family!
that which moves and flows, creates,
and brings night after day, and day
after night, has always been the feminine...
i stand in awe of woman... can feel her
presence in both the wind and the rain...
the emancipated woman stands at the door,
both mystery and faith by her side!

But ultimately what I was impressed by during my years in government was how much the intellectual climate and the prevailing intellectual notions constrained and represented the universe within which the discourse took place.

No Benefit That Hides
You and I,
Should stop to see...
We are the glue.
And not merely just commodities.
You and I,
Should stop and be...
Examples set for the young,
As how to focus to get things done!
You and I,
Should cease that need...
Of a disharmony,
We leave to grieve.
Since much discourse goes unresisted.
With no benefit,
That hides the dripping of tears.
And none of it compliments,
Or fits at all...
Those contradictions seen as fears!
You and I,
