MotherA Poem by LilithWhat does it mean to be human? To feel, taste, smell, hear,
and see? The sweetest of sweets, bitterness of lies left on the tongue after a
night of hot meaningless conversation. Thought I would say hot meaningless sex,
which I would have but now is not the time for that. Now is the time for life,
sex is merely a few moments of strict body movements that only turn to one of
two things, regret or longing. Should I focus only on this one subject while
the trees die and the children weep? Should I focus on the screams of Mother
Earth as her flesh is torn and stretched and scathed? The many things one could
think about and focus on, yet we use our mind to covet the neighbor’s wife. The
plunge of her neckline, and the silhouette of her hips that could move the very
mountains, should we do nothing at all or everything at once? While children
play and children weep our minds are focused on one thing, sex. The needless
ecstasy of two bodies becoming one, though we must have one night of sex in
order to make a child, but tell me this, should I continue to think of this one
dastardly thing instead of asking the children why they weep, or soothing the
torture brought upon by men of centuries to the one and only thing that will
forever be home? © 2012 LilithAuthor's Note
