Chaos Reigns

Lucy Tonic

A woman's sin

Can cause earthquakes,

Mudslides and hurricanes

Woman is subservient

To these tornados,

Tsunamis and storms

It's in her nature

For chaos to reign

Trying so hard to be good

Fighting what's innate

Woman is a whore,

A Madonna

A crying mother

Shifting like a chameleon

Woman yearns to be filled

Woman clings to despair

That unravels like a favorite worn shirt

Woman has devil in her genes

But is powerless to change

Fighting a losing battle

Woman needs attention,

Unbreakable pact of trust

Cause man is not tied nor bound by

Monthly bleeding, ovulation

Man destroys pain with reason

Man's undivided mind leaves

No room for guilt

Man is ego in the moment

Yearning to stay hungry

Man grieves until the moment disappears

Loving the anonymous body

Lacking the ability to understand the mind

Man wants to expose what needs hiding

Man treks the land but fears the sound

Of acorns falling on a roof

Man recognizes there's more to Eden

Than the garden

Man seeks to tame nature

But regeneration and rebirth rule

An only woman can assist this

As our toes spread out like tree roots

And ghosts sway in the branches

We're reminded by the deer, the fox, the raven-

Chaos reigns

And nature blooms as it corrupts
