Humanity’s Bus

Humanity’s Bus

1

it began in a metaphorical garden

   made by love, for love, 

   to re-member love;

a divinely grand idea devised above.

you, protector of all land and air

   strong and proud, but alone;

desirous of a helper, love took out a loan.

me, beautiful, resilient, a multi-tasker

   so much to share, the perfect

   partner;

move a mountain, tame the sea, 

   possible together.

2

we nurtured, we created, we took the

    control from Mother Earth,

    no intention of creating chaos left

    to bleed;

but damn our fears, our greed, and

    materialistic needs.   

we were naïve and gladly took our part,

    we were even proud to be called

    wife

we were willing for that vision of life;

the vagina, the bosom, the self-sufficient

    grace,

 will always continue to seek an

    equal space.

3

you grew fearful and greedy with a need

    to control;

    when did this start?

was it when we opened our mouths, our

    hearts, our private parts?

you elected, you schemed and sold your

    souls

    turning blind eyes at every proof

    of lack

you even drove a knife into your

    brother’s waiting back.

you built, you tore down and

    demolished,

    no thought of dear Mother Earth;

you forgot who labored in pain to give

    you birth.

the penis, the ego, the Cheshire smile,

    continuing tricks used, an effort to

    beguile.

4

the desire, the hope, never more 

    than you

    only the desire to be equal to;

optimism, knowledge, the original plan,

    change must start as a grain of

    sand;

can you lay side your arrogance,

    misogynistic agenda and good ole

    boy pride?

Will you have the courage to step aboard

    the bus of humanity and take a ride?
