RIVERS OF BLOOD
Months years rivers of blood
Whence it comes why does it flow
A woman's body like an ocean
Embraces all the rivers
With all their muck, grub and rotted earth
Churns washes bathes cleanses
Conflicts wars violence gore
Wrath of humans anger of gods
Brutal flapping of lithe forms
Walls of skin punished punctured
The ocean takes it all
Woman too embraces all
Then like the ocean gives out
Glistening golden rays of sun
Morning beams new life
Hope to the world to smile again
Anon is born a new morn
Cleaned anointed new born
Divine being baby bright
Bathed in blood of love
Gushing out the estuary
Of river of blood and life
