" Giants in Jeans Sonnet 32

Some people still say,
Women belong in the kitchen.
By that same logic,
Men belong in the jungle.
Traditions of yesterday
Cannot be the standard for today,
Ethics and logic of primitives,
Cannot be the measure of civilized way.
Each generation must find themselves,
They must rewrite their own code.
Better to die in the course of ascension,
Than to survive in hypnotized mode.
Cut off all allegiance to the dead and dark,
As new humans build your own moral arc. "
