Misplaced Maternal Instinct Poem by David Welch

I head an interesting thought
on the state of the world today,
about the wokeness, the PC,
and why we're degrading this way,
That tied it to something that we
often celebrate quite a lot,
that would be maternal instinct,
the kind that most women have got,
that's why we're seeing such softness,
such growing degeneracy,
is that they're placing this instinct
on the whole of society.

Now we all know that this instinct
has an important role to play,
who of us would still be alive
if women were not made this way?
Babies need lots of nurturing,
they always need to be kept safe,
and women with good instincts were
the ones who saw themselves replaced,
the ones whose descendants live on,
and would should be thankful for that,
so it seems strange, at first, to say
that such an instinct can be bad.

But then bring in feminism,
as we're seen the last face decades,
telling women to go to work,
it's more important to get paid.
And we've seen women do just that,
that is where the problem took off,
since women choosing to take jobs
doesn't mean the instincts are lost.
You can't ignore evolution,
and the nurture meant for a babe
gets displaced onto society,
we've seen this so much in our age.

Look at all of this woke nonsense,
blind cheerleading of ‘the oppressed.'
feminine instinct to protect
what they perceive as the smallest.
And if that virtue signaling
brings women a nice, moral buzz,
that's like those ‘super-mother' types,
who gain status from their ‘extra love.'
Look at the damn HR culture,
With its tone policing run rife,
like mothers lecturing young kids
not to say words that ‘aren't nice.'
look at the cancel culture plague,
seems remarkably like grounding,
say something that mother won't like,
you're punished, they take all your things.
Look at the nonsense called ‘hate speech, '
the punishing of points-of-view…
the female urge to spare feelings,
and place emotion above truth.
Look at the cursed ‘nanny state, '
the safety obsession we see,
how much comes from the displaced urge
to protect a helpless baby?

And I suppose therein lies the rub,
since society as a whole
is not like mother and child,
it does not fit into such roles.
To grow feelings are sometimes hurt,
in fact they are guaranteed to,
and half the time the push-and-pull
is what generates something new.
And often the failure in those we see
who claim they're ‘victims' and ‘oppressed, '
tells others what they shouldn't do
if they're looking to pass life's test.
And saying unpopular things
is a check on passions and trends,
if such voices just get cancelled
we can walk blindly to bad ends.
The competition and friction
that gives our society life
slows and stops in female instinct
becomes our only guiding light,
which leaves you quite vulnerable
to those who make no such mistake,
maternal instinct does nothing
against monsters who just want to take.
This begs the questions, what do we
do to get it all back on track?
Tell women to marry, have more kinds
and into the kitchen get back?

Ugh…that's gonna be a hard sell.
