The Story of Women
by mazHur


IT was not God but Eve
who pulled Adam out of fool's paradise
and taught him to live
a life of love and passion;
how ungrateful of you, O men of the world,
that you still don't pay women
the gratitude and reverence they so aptly deserve;
Ironically, you call them an enigma,a mystery,
and treat them with suspicion and awe;
pity you don't even regard them as humans,
they are but Ewig Weibliche
sage-femme or femme fatale in your eyes;
A woman for you is merely a goal, an achievement,
a fruitful embodiment of mystery
which rules the earth and nature
like the Mother Goddess does the heaven!
In your masculine whims you call her
as a siren, succubus, lamia, empusa, dakini,vampire,witch and harpy;
Some call her Lakshmi,Bhaagwaan and Venus as well;
yet you love to penetrate her interior through her little door,
only to be reborn in her womb again and again;
Again you doubt she exists but separately
as a virgin, spinster,wife, mother,sister or a widow;
in varying contexts, you behold her as a mistress,
ribley, courtesan and whore !
yet therre are some of you, the misogynists,
who fabulously fantasize women
as a symbol of sin and contamination!
what a baloney, joke !
motorists don't like women in their pits.
fishermen and mariners dread their sight
before going to sea;
miners hate their sight lest they meet misfortune;
what a mean outlook of men towards a fleshpot,
the greatest source of pleasure for them!
out of paradise these men are
but in the eyes of superior and precocious women
they are still living in a fool's paradise
God knows how long it will take
for them to get out of the woods !
