The De-Fossilizing of Misogyny.
Hands to ash. A Public announcement.
Hearken...all Ye of the Female ilk
Arise and listen to my voice...
Let not Thy Soul be Cast Down Woman
Do you not know that you represent all women
Why is your head bowed low, lost in misogyny.
Arise. Remember your Body's amber
Amber, a captivating natural wonder, long fascinating humanity.
You hold within you glimpses of prehistoric life, a preservation of delicate organisms
the revelation of secrets from millions of years before our dawn.
You are the hardened sap of the ancient - the maternal
descended from humanity's womanhood of fossilized resin.
You are the Gemstone of the amber- appreciated for its beauty
Varying, colorful - formed when sap evolves and hardens over millions of years,
trapping your essence within it.
Have you forgotten that maidenly sap, that which was birthed from the tree's fluidity.
You are amber - a solid substance that has long undergone fossilization
~Preserved.
Why then, have you become Misplaced in perpetuity
Your thoughts haunting. Taunting...
drowning you, wretched, despairing in suffering.
How long will you wallow in your self-made Hell
In swamps of self-disgust...
Raise up your Hands from ash.
Those Hands bound in fossilized tyrannical sap.
Your Aura you have preserved within a prison
Is your jailed mind, not completely of your own creation
You are become a time capsule of lapidified pity
Petrified...
Dying within the darkness of obscurity.
Arise, Long suffering Sisters of hidden illumination
The time of Enlightenment is upon us
Free the soul-sucking vampires within -
those mosquitoes gnawing,
suckling on the maw of your bones, teats and blood
You have become hardened over millions of years,
organic material - tethering a connection to the past.
Arise I say - ARISE!
Reflect upon the enduring nature of your amber
your historical significance.
Cast aside the fossilized tree resin of the Amber...
The Neolithic gemstones of lost antiquity.
Become the Amber - healing...softening
strengthening
In Colors, shades and tones of natural beauty
Cast aside the Ambrite fossil.
Become reborn - Teeming.
Magnificent!
