God lied. Women were born from the earth.
Crawled from the sea. Risen from your lake in the wood.
They were made from the dead fires of earth; formed from the ash,
Running, Screaming towards God their name.
It was man who came second.
It was man who was God’s afterthought,
pulled from the side of the almighty Woman.

God lied. Women were born from the earth.
Crawled from the sea. Risen from your lake in the wood.
They were made from the dead fires of earth; formed from the ash,
Running, Screaming towards God their name.
It was man who came second.
It was man who was God’s afterthought,
pulled from the side of the almighty Woman.
