Deifying: Our Father, Mothers
I.
If a God saves only those dressed in certain book title
Then I shall partake in hunger strike of soul.
I will refuse to fill myself with spirit’s sustenance
Until God is able to give raises to all his creations.
I do not accept discrimination from people
And I sure as hell will not accept it from a Deity.
If Hellfire is used to adjust behavior by instilling desire
To change after we no longer have the ability to do so,
I will help form a human chain amongst the burning.
We will turn charred eyes towards the God
Playing gatekeeper and stare hard enough
To carve an impression upon his memory
Regarding all the souls He couldn’t save.
If the Gods employ a caste system throughout creations,
Placing angels and animals and demi-gods and devils
Into imbalanced roles, I shall organize a sit-in.
Our protests will occupy churches, hospitals,
And wombs. All places consecrated by life.
Each prayer will give birth to hopes for equality.
Each birth will be a prayer to human will.
New lives and times conquering old divides, customs.
II.
Theological belief of a divine perfect being means
Accepting everything in Her created realm as the way
It should be. If it is not, to whom does God pray?
I believe God would pray to all of the mothers.
He would give alms to moms as they pass by.
Mothers accept their children wholeheartedly,
Would ask their own damnation instead of their child’s,
And always place their babies up as the greatest.
Yet their holiness is ignored. Help is not rendered.
Focus is on a deity who watches His children bleed out.
Too few eyes or stories dote over the inner grace
That has repeatedly given life since time began.
Women birth creations and worlds into being.
The next time you pray to a divine entity, turn to family.
