Yellow Overtone Seed

 

Sing this song for Women

Who are left bereft

When Children, Brothers, Husbands, Parents die –

Women of the War-torn World –

Killed and maimed –

Burned – stoned – raped - beheaded and shot through –

Let us weep for those

Who live half-lives - Hearts torn up--

Riven into jagged wounds –

Wet with sacred Water –

Wet with tears of Grief

 

Weep also for those

Harpies of the Patriarchy

Whose Passion becomes Madness--

When Logic gives way

And Violence holds sway

These Women are Women no more –

Lost in the Wasteland of a Land undone –

 

This country like an aberrant

Adolescent, thrown between Extremes--

Losing all Balance 

These women Shriek--

Unnerved by Insanity

They shout from twisted Mouths –

Hurling Insults and Epithets –

These Women are deranged

Unstrung – women who kill

Their young with prejudicial Poison –

Cry for these Hearts

Shattered - battered beyond Repair

Hearts living outside the Body –

Unconnected - broken - closed to Compassion

 Women no more

These “Vagina Dentatae* --

The blind Graeae of one Eye only.
