Roman Church slew Goddess divine <br />Replaced her with patriarchal rule <br />Plundered her sacred pagan shrines <br />With vile contempt, hatred, ridicule <br /> <br />A day nears when balance is restored <br />When women take their rightful place <br />When women are not abused, abhorred <br />When men/women move to interface <br /> <br />Lo, to wicked men standing against <br />Return of balance to Mother Earth <br />Change that comes at God’s behest <br />Who ushers in humankind’s rebirth <br /> <br />Husbands... respect, honor and love your mate <br />For in these precious souls, rests mankind’s fate <br /> <br />ROTMS <br /> <br /> <br />“Our exile has not only been from the Goddess, but also <br />from nature. It is not surprising, considering that most <br />westerners live apart from their environment, protected <br />by concrete roadways, consuming machine-processed foods <br />and filled with media information to the detriment of the <br />experience of our own senses. The seasons go unnoticed, we <br />seldom touch the earth, eat fresh food or observe the world <br />personally. The sacred is a forgotten dimension in our society <br />which we ignore at our peril.” <br /> <br />Caitlin Mathews<br /><br />Ray Lucero<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/goddess-reviled-goddess-restored/
