I see evil built into me,
chains extending from me into
the future, capturing wives.

They will tell me,
after ten years of marriage,
that I control them all their lives.
I even control whether they can have
a social life or whether they can read.

I am a rising institution,
the birthplace of a new totalitarianism.
People will call it a family,
I will say it is her fault.

"If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh"

interesting post.. and good write!
Let us hope that they don't (because they have no need to) say that.
Fault can be so confusing, eh
