A Different Dream

Tell me, O Priestess, your prophesies -
The things that are to be.
The wars, the death and the disease
Tell all of it to me.

The wisdom of the sages -
Their words crash against my ears
A cacophony of Ages -
Patriarchal all these years.

Throw me, O Priestess, your pearls -
The rays of light that yet may gleam -
The life those rays will then unfurl;
Take me to different dream.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

my poem is a commentary on this world and the patriarchal system I'm so tired of. Take me to a different dream is like "beam me up Scotty, get me outta here" in meaning...I want to see something better than we have.
