where are the words
to trash this system
that keeps killers in power
and children in fear?
the products of women’s bodies
have been manipulated to death
for being born of women
killers have many weapons
shame, hatred of soft skin,
contempt, hierarchy,
this ongoing glory of the mundane
and ridicule of nature’s beauty
how else besides guns and bombs
can we celebrate the work of man
without woman
if we celebrate all earth’s gifts
we can’t help but feel the power
of the feminine and masculine
as blessings
don’t despair
think hard into your sleepless nights
what is it you don’t know?
where are the words to heal this madness
we cannot escape?
the answer is in the pecking order
those with the highest status
the most wealth the biggest stuff
are not creatures of this earth
they are the oiled plastic puppets
upholding the ceremony of vanity
and they live beyond this earth
with no other home
it is their religion we are told
to lay down our own lives for.
