The Forgotten One~ #poetry by @Tashtoo

Who would think the better half could so easily be forgotten.
Written out of our history
Consumed by the seed of the holy ghost
though no crown or title would she wear.

Who would think our "god"
in whose image we were made
would share in our carnal desires
when rule states heavenly bodies
should be consumed one at a time

unless you listen to the other son
who allows his boys a few more toys

And so I was left to smolder
when water boarding wouldn't work
Connected to earth, to tide, to love
that you chose to name as devil

For centuries it seems
I have been tied to your flames
Waving undergarments on fire
Asking you to do the math...

To have one without the other...
and you regard your world with confusion?
An unbalanced scale will tilt to the heaviest side
there is no magic formula here

We were left outside when the ladder to heaven was built
back doored by the popular vote
Our magick was decidedly evil
Our bodies, the most toxic elixir
Though it was a poison born in the minds of men.

And while I remain flattered at the strength of their stake
flames licking at my toes for eons
I have watched us regain our footing
only to slip in our efforts to become like them
and I watch those scales tip further

Yin and Yang
Ebb and flow
Strength and love
Your human army falters
as universal laws predict your failings
you, content to turn away
resisting the one change that would right every wrong

You are no better
You are no worse
Your designs and labels
created to feed the ego that now governs
will be your undoing.

All good people know
as long as there is inequality
there will be war
there will be famine
there will be unnecessary deaths in untold numbers

I urge you now to wake
To face the errors of your ways
This is not the voice of the father you pray to
simply the hope of the mother
you have forgotten.
