Poem
An Epic Woman Woman tell me your thoughts Shall I be the fool and you the teacher? Am I your Adonis, or do you see a toad. Chivalry demands that I am your knight without reward, For my kin is that of Beowulf and Lancelot, Dragon slayers, so command me. I am woman I need no gesture, for wisdom lies in, Raindrops hung out to dry on silken cobwebs. And in the beggar who is happy, while his king sleeps in fear For my kin, blessed me with a rare beauty, For my reflection rivals that of the queen Of Sheba My thoughts entwined with the warrior queen Boudicea, My tenderness lies in queen Amyitis and her Hanging gardens of Babylon My passion is that of Cleopatra for Mark Anthony, And my faith equals that of Mary So beware young Jason, speak from the heart, Or you will summon queen Kriemhides in me, For she killed Attila the Hun for less, This Woman will send you to phineas A slave for the harpies, if you lie, My lady, I have slain the sirens with Lyre music, For my love for you was greater, Alexander wept when there were no more worlds to conquer Achilles killed Hector for Helen, And King Leonidas defeated the Persian Empire One glance from you and their deeds fade into oblivion, Medea the Sorcerer, My mother, Gave birth to me, for this moment. Woman take my hand and show me your love Jason of Argo, look into my eyes For I see the soul of a man Your shield is heavy to stop you running away. Your Hero Achilles was slain by a true suitor Paris, His love for Helen, was true. You deceive all women. Your Friend the Goddess Hera Was killed by you, It is my enslavement you seek, not love. I send you to the Eighth Circle for Eternity to be whipped by Devils. For the Harpies deserve better. And Remember, these words The Wisdom of King Arthur, When a Woman you seek, be honest at all times, No matter what the cost. And defend her faith, her home, And her country with your life. For these are the Thoughts of all Women.
