Westerners are fond of the saying ‘Life isn’t fair.’ Then, they end in snide triumphant: ‘So get used to it!’
What a cruel, sadistic notion to revel in! What a terrible, patriarchal response to a child’s budding sense of ethics. Announce to an Iroquois, ‘Life isn’t fair,’ and her response will be: ‘Then make it fair!’ This is the matriarchal approach to learning.

let me tell you
hell is built
piece by piece
brick by brick
around
you.
it’s a gradual,
not a rapid
process.we build our
own
inferno,
blame
others.but hell is
hell.wordly hell is
hell.my hell and
your
hell.our hell.
hell, hell,
hell.the song of
hell.putting your
shoes on
in the
morning.
hell.
