rebellious women
in stark contrast to the
message women receive,
submit to all authority without
question, I doubt they're even writers,
they're confirmed proselytizers,

the Hebrew midwives
in attendance with the women
on the birthstools defied to kill a
boy, the King of Egypt's command
of fools, 

if it is a girl,
she will live too,
the rebellious women
defied authority, punished for
disobedience, told that women
had less spiritual discernment than
men, thus prone to being deceived,
I've witnessed straight women hopping
the fence, I've witnessed women being
deceived,

Pharoah's
daughter while
bathing, found a
male Hebrew child,
fished it out of the water,
gave it breath, her father
decreed all Hebrew male
babies be put to death,
Pharoah's daughter called
upon courage to adopt the
child as her son, that child she
named Moses, the deed done,
I doubt the validity of the new "gods"
constantly being introduced, an incredibly
misguided, tangled skein of corrupt religious
frauds, the old gods forgotten,

Mother, Maiden
and Crone, the gourd
contains malachite beads,
Pagan fertility religion of Nature
where She, in all of her phases
guides those like-minded through
a path of fire, energy and enlightenment
where liberation abides,

Pharaoh's daughter
responded with compassion
toward an innocent child of a
despised race. Her act of compassion
became the foundation for the liberation
of Hebrew people, she overcame racial and
social prejudice to respond with true compassion,

Those are quick
to dismiss the kindness
of non-Christians. God uses
them. He used the daughter of
a fearful pagan king to liberate His
people from bondage--He can still use
those we least expect to bless us today.
