Yesterday And Today Poem by AHO Speaks

The creator had a thought and not a plan
What we have today came from the minds of primarily man.

Man has established most of the rules
They who toiled could not even attend school.

Every church, temple and mosque
Religions supported at great cost.

Only man could and did define and describe
Who was to be the chief and medicine man; of each and every tribe.

Man sacrificed both his son and also daughters
Young warrior boys and virgins, treated like fodder.

Gods of nature and those in the sky
The male mind of an emperor made the choice for you and I.
.
It takes five hundered years as slaves living in a foreign nation
To free their children and to become another human relation.

Men will always surrender their lives for an ideal
Women sacrifice also but for that which is real.

Men kill and also destroy
Women deliver and nurture mankind's continuity, whether a girl or boy.

It is man made weapons for one or mass destruction for another
Then he wonders why he cannot recognize a sister or a brother..
