Fractured Deities

Male & female - broken, afraid, alone
Relentless desire to bond
To couple, to complete!
Bringing more in to ease the fear
To validate the need, to ease the pain
To justify existence.

In the natural world
Procreation can fulfill its complement
They do not judge or try to control the balancing equation
Humans resist death
We do not respect higher systems
That measure our limitations perfectly.

We are as a spreading cancer
To be purged like constipation
There will be no mercy
Our mother earth has lost her milk
She will replenish as we reduce
We have denied her, we have denied ourselves.

We do not accept that we are divine
By our denial we have deprived ourselves
We are unaware of the Conspirator:
The beast of darkness
That abides in each & every one
We do not see that which sees through our eyes.

We must return to nature
Hear its chorus of hope
It’s endless entreating refrain
To harmonize with her rhythm
To enter her care & have a perfect share
Of endless love to bear.

To become as the birds in the air or the leaves on the trees
To enter unity & gather ourselves up
To stop the leaves from falling
To reverse the driving whip of the beast
To know that we are not balanced for instinct
To accept our limitations.

Each seed must grow its own flower
No more child abuse
No more increasing & multiplying
No more bright eyes & trusting smiles
As we gather them into the furnace
Of the responsibilities we refuse to bear.

No more percolating to wholeness
Over-breeding & associated tensions
Eating our mother alive
We must reduce or be reduced
Each parent must birth alone
The child they once were known.

We must tend our garden with awareness
Recognize the beast within
We must understand that life is wrong
Harness it to pull our plough;
To till our fields of clay
To gardens where children play.
