Politically Correct Lord's Prayer

Our (mis)Concept of Patriarchal Authority, who, it can be said,         inhabits the metaphysical sphere, privileged be your signifier.
       
        May your social structure achieve dominance.
       
        May the enactment of your desire be manifested throughout the physical-metaphysical         dichotomy.
       
        Empower us this day with the means of material production,
        And refuse to enforce sanctions against our behavior which some see as         subversions of a moral perspective, just as we refuse to marginalize the         moral perspectives of others who have exerted their individuality.
       
        Don't lead us into situation that some would (mis)understand as detrimental         to the full expression of our humanness, but liberate us from the concept         of "evil."
       
        For yours is the hegemony, and the dominance, and perceived mystification         within the entire continuum of the Western concept of linear time.
