The Parasitic Seed

The mistletoe seed,  doth feed,
Like the mind’s seed, of greed,
An ample example,.....................................................................................(Romans 1:20)
Upon it’s host,
Like a cancerous growth,

Will eventually kill, body of soul,
Adam and Eve were told,........................................................................(Genesis 2:16-18)
Before Eve mold,
Warned of the death in a mind quest,
Now the serpent mind, beastly inclined,
More subtile, than beast of field,................................................................(Genesis 3:1-22)
The mind spoke to Eve,
Is that so hard to believe,
Our minds speak to us every day,
To sway us away, from love's way,

To sway, Eve’s true purpose away,
T'was the mind’s beguile, begat seed, wild child,
And change paradise, to a natural world,  in peril,
Now sacred heart,  holds in store, 
Our real pearl, in our inner world,
Now for God’s glory, the rest of the story,

Womanhood; of the world oppressed,
Fault; the mind’s quest,
But she has birthed;  at God’s request,.........................................................(Luke 1:26-38)
She has birth the glory; the rest of story,
The Christ; our sacrifice,

Having saved, the world from peril,
Womanhood; a wonder girl,
She’s; your sugar and spice,
She; Christly nice,
Soft, fluffy, no fleas,
Guys please,
She’s; Your minds ease,

No woman, makes a man,
Live from his mind,
That’s his choice, by his own voice,

Death's seed, is parasitic of the mind,
Heart seed, is life,
To each his own; Leave womanhood alone,
Work out your own soul’s salvation,
Send the mind’s death thoughts on an extended vacation!!

Dedicated to womanhood all over the world. And a      
special personal thanks to all you special ladies, here
on Soup. Consider this to be your dozen red roses on
next mother’s day, from me, as that would be the appropriate,
day to post this poem. You are God’s best, take your rest,
let your birth of Christ’s love manifest!
“ Lovingly, John Moses Freeman”

Ps.There is a touch of irony in the story flow, not in the words. See it you can catch it!
I didn't untill I had already posted and was re-reading it!

Nice style and I can tell a lot of work went into the creation of this most excellent piece. I enjoyed the scripture refrences to the side. I'm afraid I missed the irony in this peice as well. Keep writing. A. W. Nutter www.freewebs.com/abcedit

I'm afraid I missed the irony, but I may be still getting my head around the complexity. I can see it starts out with lust thoughts from the mistletoe then slowly graduates those sinful thoughts to ones of death all the while ignoring the hearts wish to only love. I know Eve was the first to fall under temptation fromt he serpent but I also thought all she wanted was to eat an apple from the tree of knowledge. What knowledge deserved her expulsion. what was it she was never supposed to know?

It's great to see that some people have such high regard for women and their contributions to society. Although I am not a mother, I would be pleased to accept the roses on ANY day of the year. A charming tribute to womanhood; you're going to win some hearts with this write, Moses! Love, Carolyn

the irony you revealed is man's need for woman, while at the same time, if improperly exhibited, can kill....however if respect is shown, and both genders realize their potential, harmony is obtainable!....OH YEA!!! BABYYYYYY!!!!!I GOT IT!! ; ) ; ) : )....and thanks for your cool comments! Moses!...jimbo

A delightful and inpiring write, John. I love the lessons in your wise and witty writes. I have studied this for a while but to no avail. The irony evades me. Thank you for the roses! Love, Robin
