Voluminous Paleolithic Figures: Symbols Of Tribal Survival? Poem by Terence George Craddock

in a contemporary world
woman may bare their breasts
to feed their new born babies
so the baby may grow as it suckles
to create a nurturing comfort bond peace
or they may feed baby using plastic bottles
their is often an emphasis on reclaiming thin figures
new mothers are soon exercising to reclaim thin figures

but was human society always so concerned with thin
once getting enough food being fat might have been sexy
figures survive from the paleolithic era 40,000 35,000
years old of women with ample hips voluminous breasts
uncovered pudenda is this honouring life renewal pregnancy
we cannot ask but women may have attained power in fertility

were these maternal symbols of creativity birth fertility
nurturing the cycle of growth the renewal of sacred life?
life was sacred sacred women may have been recognized
for their procreation powers of new creation and survival
with pendulous breasts on a plump stomach abundant hips
well-endowed rotund healthy an emphasis is on fertility

healthy fertile women were a good luck portent for society
fertility figures are abundance as a symbol of life renewal
pregnancy nourishment nurturing is life cultural survival
