My soul twin, beautiful sister, and one of the most incredibly talented poets I know, Yaskhan gave me the privilege and joy of collaborating on a poem with her. Together, we created Rag Doll. (If you don’t already follow her, please do, you’ll be glad you did!)
Well, I’ll be damned
With a swift kick in the soul
God created woman
In the rib cage of Adam, Eve was planned
Pieces not fitting, God left a hole
An obedient toy to woo man.
Eve’s taste for apples, blamed for the fall
Poor Adam, a victim to her insidious plot
Woman, now a synonym for original sin.
She’s in a no win situation
A catch 22 persuasion
For a sin, no known demarcation
Are we all set for damnation?
As Sodom and Gomorrah, poor Lot
His wife showed her salt, a sinner imbued
Too stupid to listen when instructed to
God man woman
He forgot they were human too
The devil still asking his due
The sword of Damocles hanging over her head
Is she Satan himself in bed?
But these rag dolls have more than meets the eye
As men falter to meet the crease in her thigh
Blame cast for the rights made wrong
There are two kinds of hell
Two lands to dwell
The human hell
Living inside eggshells
The human dead hell
Dying inside a prison of fleshy cells
From a frying pan to the fire, we dwell
I hear the devil laughing
Though God made the woman a servant of man
A snake brought a change to the plan
Its venom runs in our veins
Evil creeps untamed
Burning sights, burning hearts
Desperate search for that one peace
For a Madonna, a Mary, or a commonplace whore
The fall of man was just another chore
These dolls are not just toys
They are darkness and light
The power of her flower, are the wrongs made right
The devil still has the last laugh
Omg. That is so sweet of you , Dian.😘😘😘😘❤️
