THE PRIMORDIAL
SOUP KITCHEN SOCIETY (FROM "IVORY")
- I come full circle mother
- Ever wild and ever peaceful
- City upon city piled high upon
my back
- Ten thousand years befor Christ
I tilled this earth
- And from me sprang poetry, astrology,
music, sensuality,
- Synnetry and industrialization.
- Mine was the first important work
of society.
- Since day one I ruled supreme.
- I reigned my lands nobly and justly
- Loving my sons and daughters equally
well
- I possess outer beauty coupled
with inner strength
- I have always been woman
- And I have always been a backbone
- I have been called many named by
many peoples
- Athene, Dianna, Minerva, Hacte,
Hera, Rhamnusia
- Quan Yin, Amaterasu.
- "But the Egyptians which are
excellent in all kinds of ancient knowledge do call me by my true name,
Queen Isis."
- "From out of Africa I came."
- I gave my angels charge over thee
to keep thee safe in the fruit of my womb.
- Jesus
- I am Mary the mother of grace
- And my smile will light your primordial
dawn.
- I am Queen of the Nile
- The lion and every living beast
submit tenderly
- To me, for I am the last word momma
- And the first true wonder of the
world.
- I am a direct descendant
- Of the royal house of David and
the tribe of Judah
- My blood is blue and my lineage
is long
- They can destry my record but I
keep coming back
- For I am a symbol of what will
survive.
- For my mother and yours
