First Mother Of Earth

Sitting in church on Sabbath afternoon,
heart beating at reception of weird light
that beams slantwise through window of all time,
I see descend on flaming wings of faith
First Mother of Earth with eyes of bright stars
who fills my mind with visions of survival.

When the pastor declares with Father Voice
that good obedient wives with humble hearts
should submit to will of his husbands with love,
I stand up and reach out my aching arms
to embrace First Mother of Earth with faith
who animates my heart with ardent truth.

Breathing celestial energy of faith,
I turn away from male authority
and exit stage of global patriarchy
to walk the signless road of everywhere
in brave quest to find the Garden of Eden
where First Mother of Earth tends apple trees.

Offering assistance of my strong hands
to help First Mother of Earth tend fruit trees,
I narrate my name and path of my life
that seems so random in my clumsy hope,
so she accepts me in Garden of Eden
where I stand guard in Watch Tower Of Faith.

When gang of thieves surround our paradise,
demanding we submit to righteous rule
of their male privilege with guns of hate,
I open gates of heaven wide, and bow
to welcome them to feast in Hall of Faith
where First Mother of Earth offers them wine.

While I play Lyre of Mercury and sing
on stage before crowd of wild revelers,
First Mother of Earth offers guests sweet wine,
so they dance with joy at their victory
till they all slump drunk and limp on the ground,
so I hang them upside from the tree.

Screaming in rage at clever trick we played,
arrogant men demand we let them go,
so I explain how First Mother of Earth
has always ruled cycles of life and death,
then slit their throats and fill grail with their blood
which I pour on roots of the Knowledge Tree.

Though men form gangs in terror of Kind Death,
and take over national governments
to legalize their spurious right to rule,
First Mother of Earth, with power of Nature,
sends the Grim Reaper to erase cruel thieves,
so children may thrive in Garden of Eden.

Orpheus leads souls of angry men down to Hell where Hades forces them to excavate minerals and jewels so world economy managed by First Mother may flourish.
