ReInvisioned -- Ghosts Of The Weaving Women
We wrecked these women
History doesn't remember them well
Agememmnon still weeps
His woman's blood
Revised by rivers of time
After might killed a city
The war-crimes tribunal
Found Helen guilty
Of being beautiful
Witch-hunts coursed through proud
Villages hostage for generations
Of wise women
In their herbal illumination
Learned man was wiser
Enumerated the prowess of history's heros
The kings of legend
The maddest Popes
Unleashed insanity on the women
In the holy land tears fell
Torquemada ignited
An orgy of banishment
Sacred bonfires erase the sex smell
Fill empty cradles with righteous smoke
We have no lving women saints
Joan d'Arc's name under the fire
Before she faints
Demon! The perfidy of the fairer sex!
Beguiling snake whispers in their ears!
More of the monsters have been men
With bullets and the cross
Damning words and cattlecars
The guided munitions
Find the women
Peek-a-boo! and then a silent library
