Evolution? What is woman? /3rd Place Winner,
Outlaw Poet's Weekly |
The ripened fruit trees sway in the distance. A man finds his way into the Garden Of Eden. Without knowing he has come there, he speaks in a loud voice: Find me a woman in all my despair. God explains, I need for you to take the jaw of an ass and hold it to the light, thus God will see fit to give you a woman. As the woman is formed in the womb of an angel, light circles her crown and she fondly gives the man his first kiss. With the wind in the trees. the woman and man romp through the Garden as the fairies give them everything in the world. The lush green oasis looks like none could own it but them. Without each other, their world would shatter into oblivion across the desert. Each evening the orange streaks in the sunset burn in the man's memory. Here was not despair, but hope, where once he had seen nothing, his parched throat hungry for love. It was only after their fall from grace, that she became the perfect woman in a world of imperfection. Still, the fruit trees sway with their clear message: Now that creation had begun, woman would survive pestilence, famine, tyranny, idolaltry,deep floods, earthquakes, hurricanes,violent wars of military might and poverty, evil doings and ill repute. Nothing could stop the destruction in a world where she sought love. |
