History honors Hummurabi for the initial code of law for all--
the primal spark of equal.
Four thousand years ago, three hundred
laws inscribed on ageless basalt slab,
in ancient cuneiform script--and one
considered women. One King of men,
master of masters, (awakening) had
climpsed humanity collectively.
But the common males, remembering...
(The Amazons, female gods, legends
of matron dominance, epochs of universal, maternal tribal law)
dared not open their eyes.
In power then, by pain and ages
(hard earned the down of despots)
"master" held with vengeance--for
century after century after century.
Finally, counting up past twenty,
parity peeping over the horizon (brute
force giving way to intellect)inch by inch, bits of female ground regained.
But equality rising slowly; myriad
throngs of the woefully wronged vote
to surpass the goal; they would reverse, retaliate, invalidate ...
Revenge, no end-- no gain.
Now, pain on both sides.
Humanity has yet to discover
the comprehensive door, where
man and woman enter together.
This is a very insightful piece of writing, Delma. You wrote it beautifully; great style, elegant choice of vocabulary, some effective alliterations...
The content is so clear, so real, from historical analysis to the hopes and disillusions of today.
I sometimes feel that we are going towards an androgynous society where we eliminate the notion of man and woman. A society where there are equal rights is not a society that wipes away the differences, for they are vital. Unfortunately, some confusion is already becoming part of our reality and we cannot afford, if we want humanity to survive (culturally, spiritually, physically) to create a loss of identity.
This book chronicles an infinite allegoric odyssey of Absolute Awakening in which a learned man, a mute man, and a recluse woman are the principal players. The mute and the recluse are the learned one's Teachers and Guides on his journey of Enlighten
Histories of the world are generally written to either celebrate technology and science, or to herald doom. My book examines the path of the spirit in the onward rush.
