Songs of The Mother

A well known saying from the bible: "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanliness."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone is tired
Espiritus Sanctus
she sings over the bones
with her long hair tear stained
and falling in the sepulchres
stirring them up
they are ugly on the inside
the box is beautiful
she weeps and sings
sings and weeps
oh Espiritus Sanctus
manifest from the bottom
of our ugly souls
oh how do we put away the phallus
for good in this life
and welcome the nurture
of the yoni
Espiritus Sanctus
Sing for us mother
sing
and wash us clean
of our fatigue
guilt shame
inadequacy
then sit us down
pat our hair
and give us a smoke
and a cheese burger
with extra fries
