Goddess Reviled-Goddess Restored Poem by Ray Lucero

Roman Church slew Goddess divine
Replaced her with patriarchal rule
Plundered her sacred pagan shrines
With vile contempt, hatred, ridicule

A day nears when balance is restored
When women take their rightful place
When women are not abused, abhorred
When men/women move to interface

Lo, to wicked men standing against
Return of balance to Mother Earth
Change that comes at God’s behest
Who ushers in humankind’s rebirth

Husbands... respect, honor and love your mate
For in these precious souls, rests mankind’s fate

“Our exile has not only been from the Goddess, but also
from nature. It is not surprising, considering that most
westerners live apart from their environment, protected
by concrete roadways, consuming machine-processed foods
and filled with media information to the detriment of the
experience of our own senses. The seasons go unnoticed, we
seldom touch the earth, eat fresh food or observe the world
personally. The sacred is a forgotten dimension in our society
which we ignore at our peril.”
