Brighter Tomorrow

a brighter tomorrow do you remember blue, back in the days when whores were temple women welcoming stranger and friend alike into warm passionate embrace in the service of the mother goddess? when making love was not a shame but a joy of celebration and defiling the land was a sin against the creator because it was the body of our mother who brought us here, fed us, clothed all and gave beauty free for the looking. blue, myriad blue is disappearing sky and sea no longer shine they choke as cancerous lungs do whores are sinning for someone else's change and nickel-dime corporate hacks buy blue on the black market.

Wow, this is a deep write my friend! You are right, you should have posted this later, or earlier than Hefner's death, oh well, what's done is done! But I get what you mean by this incredible poem, Great Work!!

Thank you Russell. The poem, I thought was rather simple in the comparison of beliefs some 25000 years ago before Patriarchy and now with Patriarchy. I realize that is a stretch but I have read many books on women's studies, Archaeology and Anthropology so my ideas are not unfounded.

Hi Patricia, another WOW over here. So apt and so controversial in contemporary short sight. Yes, we have lost the plot and you say it oh so well. At last you have a face. Now I know you will stick around for a spell.

Just call me gum. This is meant be a serious poem about the attitudes that changed when Matrarchy became Patriarchy. I might have been wrong to post it. Thank you jennie

Thank you. I hoped it would be more about the changes in human thinking and action. Oh well best plans and all. That was a complete coincidence. Oh my name is Patricia lol lol I know terribly formal and all that but it is what I prefer.
