They hover just on
the other side of the Veil,
waiting,
watching.
These women who
gave their lives
at the hands of Patriarchy
and its fear of
women’s ways,
women’s wisdom,
women’s bodily functions.
They wait, these Ancestors,
watching the women of today
as they declare NEVER AGAIN!
They wait, as they work from
beyond the Veil to destroy
the Institution of Patriarchy,
responsible for Centuries
of continued murder and
subjugation of women.
ALL so I… We…
may clear the shit dumped
on EVERY WOMAN for the
past 6000 plus years.
They come…
They wait…
They question…
Will I step into my life’s work
or take the easy way out and
do nothing?
They come…
They wait…
Asking if YOU will step into
Your life’s work
or
will you do nothing?
We stand on the precipice of
unfathomable shift in modern
times and the question is
which way will that shift go?
Will we do our part
or will we dull our senses
and trick our minds
into thinking and feeling
the horror that lurks
on the horizon is only
in our imaginations?
Will we choose to hide
in illusion, while we go back
to numbing and dumbing down
the truth of our innate wisdom,
until the day…
Until the day we realize
the unfathomable
is no longer a theory,
but our reality,
as once again
the ancient and religious
Chains of Patriarchy
Reign Supreme and
women are once again
mere chattel to be
shackled and controlled.
They hover just beyond
the Veil waiting, watching.
These women who gave their lives
at the hands of Patriarchy
and its fear of
women’s ways,
women’s wisdom,
women’s bodily functions.
They wait, these Ancestors,
watching the women of today
as they declare NEVER AGAIN!
They wait, as they work from the
Realm of the Ancestors
to destroy Patriarchal Institutions
responsible for the Centuries
of continued murder and
subjugation of women.
They watch.
They wait.
They ask…
WILL we step into
our life’s work?
OR
Will we do nothing as
we hide in denial?
We still have a choice…
But…
For How Long?
