An Unholy Mess

Why do they hate so? They expound forgiveness But malign half of humanity It is the gravest sin That they do not wish to know The human race cannot exist Without a mixture of men and women Men crave priority While the woman is meant to follow Through ignorance and machismo They delete themselves from posterity The creed of embracing all that they preach Forgotten when selecting the gods That inhabit their one sided hierarchy They court and woo controversy Discriminating on a grand scale The X chromosome Must have only a reproductive role Of no spiritual worth A selfish message they send To future generations Today will be tomorrows past Spitefulness will be all they have to tell To a more liberal generation Who may think ; what the hell! The stain of no sisterly love Does imperil The hard fought for longevity of a church That for some is the centre of society Stifling female advancement Is a wanton disregard for the maker Who created all in his image We are told that He loves us all No matter if we wear pants or skirts The soul it seems has no sex Side-lined for their femininity Traduced for being as god created Women are second class in a world Where acceptance of the divine Should outweigh gender dog fighting A shaky foundation is today’s Christian ethos The lack of understanding and The ability to forgive Has reduced respect for a beacon of society A grievous and irrevocable manoeuvre The male domination of the soul Is but a wilful and audacious folly The human race will not exist If women are thought of as a bother To look at the future of the church Is to gaze into a cloudy ball The smoke of destruction evident to all about Except the Don Quixotes Who stubbornly fight the inevitable Bolstered by their own ill will The health of the church Is paramount for its survival The acceptance of those who believe Irrespective of their genes will extend The work on earth of Christ above Let us worship and serve god as one
