The Sacred Gift

Honoring the seed and all the work it takes to cultivate.

A vase of cut flowers
Stripped of their roots
Grown for their beauty
and not for their fruits

Wrapped up in plastic
and zapped with some lights
to make sure they look pretty
fresh colorful and bright

The beauty of a woman
The glow in her eyes
Has all been reduced
To her fucking dress size

The spirit of pleasure
The taste of the food
Is all thrown away
So she can please some dude

The delight of a child
Gets hidden below
The way that we please
People we don’t even know

This is what our culture
has done to the mystery
Made us decorative baubles
& erased it from history

The short sighted vision
of humans malaised by fear
Just point them towards the scapegoat
anyone…
