The Mighty Has Fallen

In days of yore,
He ruled the world;
He stamped his unchallenged authority,
Where ever he roamed.

At home his presence and his words,
Commanded attention and sometimes fear;
He like a military man of might,
Led his family with an unbending rod.

His loyal subjects had never a voice
In any respect of their daily life,
He asked of them not much,
Just blind obedience and acquiesces.

His job was easy in those days,
He worked so hard, brought home the pay;
Multiplied the specie as much as he cared,
Got what he needed without any fear.

Then one unhappy day
When his wife was feeling blue,
Rightly concluded, that she
Had some intelligence too.

She enlisted the help of her own sex,
And they concluded that they would protest;
They vigorously demanded a say,
In their own daily affairs.

He was so shock and angry,
By this brazen challenge to his authority;
He ranted and raved,
But who really cared.

The women shook off their aprons,
And headed for work outside the home;
They said, "This is my body,
I ain't getting anymore children for you."

His life became complicated,
Less time to be with the boys;
More time in the kitchen,
More time minding the child.

It got worse every day,
But the biggest disappointment
Was when the men by his side,
Mutinied and went to fight for the cause of his wife.

His rights began to change,
His words and presence now held less sway,
His children disobeyed with impunity,
His woman laughed at what happened to he.

One morning he went to work,
Only to find that he was demoted,
And his job given to a woman,
Who made his life anything but heaven.

Then finally to top it off,
A lady politician ruled the country,
And all the important positions
Were given to other ladies.

He got so vex, he would have none of this,
He filed for divorce citing affront to his rule;
The judge let him know his power was gone,
And now he was stripped of all he had owned.

Dejected and broken he turned to his god,
Of drugs and alcohol,
To comfort his poor soul,
Spending his days, telling tales of the women he controlled.

To this very day,
The men hardly care,
The boys see no future,
So they adopt the drug and block culture.

The mighty has fallen,
There was no one to help,
Nothing gets better,
Soon he may be gone forever.
