FREEDOM’S CALL

I sit upon my lonely hill and watch the full moon rise
And I wonder what would happen if we all dropped our disguise.
It seems to me that Human Beings fear their inner truths,
They see their Goddess nature as an ever-tightening noose.
You see the Churches preach to us that we must sacrifice
Our wild and joyous spirit in order to be seen as ‘nice’.
The truth behind their teaching is the fear that we will know
We are Beauty everlasting and need them not to grow!
Our world is ruled by petty men who cannot see the power
That comes to each one of us when love fills every hour.
For that is what we’re made of and it’s what we yearn to share;
In their ignorance and greed they ignore the need for care.
Alas they teach the lesson well; around me I can see
The damage to Human Spirit in their refusal to fly free.
In turn they chain the Wild Ones who have not been taken in
And are trying to release those who fear living is a sin!
The wisdom Jesus shared with us they’ve twisted right around
Until his pleas to love all living things are very rarely found.
Instead we’re taught if we do as they say we will find
The gates of Heaven opened wide to welcome all mankind.
When I was but a child I believed in what they say;
It wasn’t till I grew older that my mind began to sway.
When first I felt the stirrings of new life within one day
I began to question how I could see my child in this way.
I vowed right then that no one would ever get the chance
To teach her she was wrong to find beauty in the mating dance.
If such as she was what we wrought when we let our passions out
Then the teachers of Religion were the ones that we should doubt!
It’s taken many years of tears and seeking Truth to sow
The seeds of joy in loving, but at last now I do know …
No more will I let someone tell me I should live in shame
When I love a man in every way for Woman is my name!
