nature of gentleness

nature of gentleness

whereas males of our species
having usurped goddesses' insouciant
playfulness in nature
and all things -- living

hiding midst chapter and verse
from books of made up
'spiritual' travesties
created not to liberate

but to -- control
masses with fear and guilt
suppressing goddesses'
gentle nature

hand of certain retribution
that shall fall upon
those who care nothing
for nature of things -- holy

inviolate spaces where She
is alive and well
awaiting some sense
-- good sense to bob to muddied waters'

surface once again
confounded by stirring stick
those men who wear iron boots
of autocracy

skimming to clarity -- the pond of life
spate caused by -- priggish dandy's
whose bottom line is
-- profit -- not prosperity

not peace
not nature of gentleness
whose time is nearly at its
patiently awaited -- end.

Though I am skeptical about religion, even with goddesses in charge, I enjoyed the write, especailly lines 5-10. "Hiding midst chapter and verse" is a great image!
