He has separated himself
from love and life,
and allied himself
with hatred and death.
In the name and service
of greed,
he has given to the rich
and to the dishonest,
and stolen from those most
in need.
Who will follow?
Who will feel the need?

[No illustration needed--we all know
who this is about.]

I Take Delight

I take delight
in nakedness,
because I am
nakedness.

I take delight
in nature,
because I am
nature.

I take delight
in life,
because I am
life.

I take delight
in energy,
because I am
energy.

I take delight
in light,
because I am
light.

I take delight
in love,
because I am
love.

I take delight
in peace,
because I am
peace.

I take delight
in justice,
because I am
justice.

I take delight
in you,
because we are
one.



It Is Time

I.
It is time,
time to transcend
old ways
and beliefs,
time to right
the wrongs,
to put faith
where it belongs,
to hear our cry:
that women and men
were born to live,
not waiting to die,
and will live
again and again.
Women do not
belong to men,
and all life
in the Universe
has rights
equal to ours.
Morality is not
negative,
but is love's
imperative,
and whatever
number you give
to the Trinity,
S/HE
will transcend it.
Hear our call:

Hear, O Universe,
our God/dess
is All.

II.
and we shall live,
as in the beginning we did,
from the heart,
the brain playing
its secondary
part,
so that while staying
alive,
all
may
thrive.

III.
We must go forward
and not back,
for in violence
and in war,
in hatred
and in domination,
in greed,
in patriarchy,
there is nothing
to go back to.

IV.
When the inside
is like the outside,
pure Divinity,
then you will be
free.
