"The Matrix" is a thought-provoking and evocative series of poems that delves into the theme of education and the societal constructs that confine individuals within a system. The poems portray education as a complex matrix, a web of rules and degrees that often restricts the true potential of young minds. It highlights the conformity expected from students and the standardized testing culture that reduces knowledge to a mere plot.

The poems emphasize the disillusionment faced by individuals as they enter the world after acquiring degrees, realizing that success is often elusive and unfulfilling. It depicts society as a chessboard, where power rests in the hands of kings and queens while the masses struggle as pawns.

However, amidst the despair, this series also highlights whispers of rebellion and a longing for liberation. It calls for unity and the collective effort to challenge and reshape the educational matrix. It is suggested that education should transcend the creation of obedient workers and instead nurture minds, ignite passions, and empower individuals to seek truth and freedom.

Overall, "The Matrix" is a powerful and resonant piece that prompts reflection on the purpose of education, the limitations of societal norms, and the potential for collective action to bring about change.

Matriarchy: No Need For Men. by feminism2
16 parts Ongoing
Chapter 2: World War III (Running!!) Men are gone. Women rule. Imagine a world where men no longer matter-would you survive the matriarchy? What happens when feminism goes too far? This book explores the consequences of a future where the natural balance between men and women collapses. Feminism, having transcended all boundaries, reshapes humanity into a female-centered species. Men, stripped of purpose, exist as relics of the past, serving only as pets in a system that mirrors a hive, where women reign supreme. Biologically, mothers are the gatekeepers of life. Historically, survival forced men and women into partnership-men as protectors and providers, sometimes oppressors, while women adapted to survive under natural pressures. But when humanity masters nature, this necessity vanishes. With no war, famine, or struggle, cooperation dissolves. Robots and AI take over all labor, while science frees women from biological dependence on men, allowing reproduction through stem-cell technology. Men are no longer needed for survival, yet they are not entirely discarded, kept instead as sentimental pets. This is the final form of feminism: a system that abandons equality under the guise of progress, reducing men to a perpetual loop of servitude. Matriarchy: No Need for Men critiques a future where dominance replaces balance, and ideology supersedes the natural truths of human existence. It is a stark warning, not only for men but for all who value the delicate equilibrium that defines humanity.
