WOMAN

a woman knows mystery in the eyes of her newborn child
she sees the world beyond from whence that child was born
she is guided by the same intuitive force to raise it to full grown
as she cooks and teaches and heals and creates a better world

for all, men too, whose envy of her knowing, makes them blue
and lose their own knowing by being afraid of women
and thinking they need to put her down, to arise
by building dick rockets to nowhere, to hell and Mars

taking the word woman from written pages or IDs
will not remove woman from earth that made her
and sooner or later earth will fall into total chaos
rebelling against dick rockets they prefer over her

and only then will they understand
the folly of their senseless pursuits

instead we could all cherish life made sensual by love
of the child and each other and animals and plants
And know that as one person dies another is born
and the cycle continues forever more, there is no end

respect each other everywhere and every time
seeing the god/goddess in each and every one
before it is too late and the gods leave
while we are left with heads bowed

gods/godesses were substituted with money
and men will do anything to continue in the faith
that only money will make them great
fake news causing the end of life on earth.

and only then will they understand
the folly of their senseless pursuits
