Feminine

Feminine Ancient practice knew The importance of primal Creation The identity of birth It was then The nurtured seed of flourishing life Rested in the core Of season revolving Planetary evolving Chord spirit Life The dance of willing sacrifice To die exulted In giving Re-birthing in mystical cycles It was then The natural worship Of offering Ultimate resplendent loving Ancient this nature was A primordial balance Of intuitive understanding A deeper knowledge let flow And knew the identity Of birth Feminine But witchery and rack And bible black Have distorted by men The word of life to death And love to sin A picture perfect administration of heaven The masculine doctrines written Counted Eve responsible For the fall from Eden Turned woman to guilt And prized possession The plaything of capitalism Over ruled by “man” made dogma ( godma ) The stronger reviled To the weaker Dirtied by sex The apple core stuck in her throat The equilibrium tipped To favour control By the power hunger Of religion Once long ago We knew the identity Of birth The power of life The importance of Primal creation The nurtured seed Of flourishing life Feminine
