Repression is Not an Option

This divide is but an illusion
glass partitions fallible

We drink from the same source
our assigned task reverential

Denial has limits…
the beast swells…
writhes in churning waters

We are fearful
because power feeds off fear –
Eden’s serpent reincarnated

Round up your loyalties
your petty contrivances
and prepare

Patriarchy engorged
 on misogynistic agendas
force feeds archaic notions

Subdues
constricts
silences
disembodies the feminine –

We have been here before, women
and we are Eve –
not born of man’s weakness
but in response to it!

She-power
intuits
channels
transforms

We are the beast
wombs pulsing
curves thrashing
our collective hearts
life affirming

Let us shatter glass illusions
hold our sisters, mothers, children
in heart-centered conviction

align our voices
stand firm
and channel this righteous rage
into empowered revelation.

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential.

  4. Bravo! SO powerful, to a whole other level. Especially love this: “We are the beast, wombs pulsing, curves thrashing, our collective hearts, life affirming”. I’m currently writing a fiction story with Adam and Eve, questioning this insanity.

  6. ❤ So true! PREACH!! I recently read something that said:

    We are women,
    we are only half the world,
    but we gave birth to the whole world.
    No one on this planet
    should be ignorant of our
    views or our voices.

    1. Thank you Janet. The despair of the political gridlock in the States broke this week with new possibility. I hope women get behind Kamala.
