Sacred Poem by AHO Speaks

If I am denied my thought
Then I am not.

If I allow some one else to do for me
Then how can I hear, speak or see?

The mind is our chalice of sacred seeds
Spiritual gifts and guidance when we are in need.

If I do not ask the question why
Then what I hear, speak or see may be a lie.

Words change in time to fit or hide
Only with the mind can a human decide.

Humanity consists of three
Women, children and of course; the male me.

We entrust our continuity with the beautiful one
The Mother of each daughter and every earthly son, .

Then we deny her a place at mankind's tables
The Mother of both Cain and Able.

Women are separated as if of a lower caste
Half our discovery, knowledge and potential; is left in the past.
