We Don't Need You, We Have Dolly
by
Alan R. Bender
Reading Genesis for the next to the last time
I realized that Eve made a choice.
No misogynist Lord told her what to do.

Adam was a fraud whose dick was limp,
Once aroused he sought power.
Adam was the smallest prick on earth just then

Some things never change.
He produced tools to cure his impotence,
Rules and tools, the male inventions

Women do not need.  A fool's hands-on
Experience is the best that Adam could muster.
God was bigger and longer, so he thought

That is what woman wants.
But Eve had made a choice; not pro wife,
She already had Adam's bone, and once is all

She really needed after all.
Motherhood was the key and males came up short,
If you understand the 6 day story:

Rules and tools, 3 Rs and TV propaganda,
Lies and religious patrimony,
Work and fear. The Lords can do the rest.

Laws made by men
Make up what the creator forgot.
War and fraud, injustice and rape,

Remembered as heroic sacrifice for more;
More of the evil, men of God call to Our Father,
"Hate our mother who made a choice:

Loving her home, evolving a progeny of life,
Responsible and strong
Keepers of growth's everlasting promise."

Failing to understand
Life, as they know it passed away today.
Men uninvented themselves to find eternity.
