drama

Euripides gave women a Greek voice
in stories we'd known through the eyes of men
although the polis granted them no voice
their wit's recorded by the playwright's pen
but there we've stalled, 'til somebody elects
a woman to the presidential role
why merit ought to correlate with sex
smacks less of logic than about control
the Trumpen Proletariate pull back
is nothing left of Man's prerogative?
in wounded pride, they go on the attack
with rhetoric coherent as a seive
whoever's first will need a rhino's rind
to make the next great leap for Womankind
