Sexism V. Feminism: Four By Six

SEXISM V. FEMINISM

There are those who get it
And then those who fail to
Who inflicts? Who suffers?
Balls or tits? Beside the point

The Definitive Connection

THE DEFINITIVE CONNECTION

Mistaken identity, long lost soul
Locked in this Dutch coffee shop
Hid deep in Amsterdam 1980

Red rice disguises another
Unauthorised breakfast item
Bequeathing the crown of horns
To the newborn king of the jewels

Then it’s thank you, cut and run
From their war on consciousness

Who

WHO

Who knew that there is
No one there to understand
That you understand?

Postprandial Pals

POSTPRANDIAL PALS

When the curtain falls
Those acting opponents
Clean off all the pancake
And repair to the pub

Extinguished

EXTINGUISHED

The true clarity
Is a disappearing trick
No one the wiser

Alien Dreamers All

ALIEN DREAMERS ALL

Even? … Odd?
Even odd balance
This and that
Here and there
Kaleidoscopic jigsaw
You know how It is

Reckoning

RECKONING

The day comes
(If you are still here)
When you look
All around
And see all those favourite
Books, discs, videos

The ace ones
You’re not done with yet
Retained to
Revisit
Though if you started today
There wouldn’t be time

Gone Astray

GONE ASTRAY

Are we all not One
Black and white, male and female
Why betray Oneself?

Credo

CREDO

I believe
That when we die
Our bodies return
To the dust they were made of

And our spirit wakes (again)
To the realisation that Spirit transcends
Species, race, gender, sexuality and all that nonsense

What we have only glimpsed of Love
Is fully revealed (once more)
In its wholeness

What foolish things we’ve done
Yet now forgiven

All In All

ALL IN ALL

When all is connected
All is connected

Within without
Above below

Before behind
Behind before

Who dare (not) put
The all in Allah?

For after all
(And before all)

Before behind
Behind before

And besides …

Who would wish
To flee and why?

Meantime who dare decry
Use of any word at all?

View, view and then review
As time goes by

Best review who reviews
And why and how
