Before Choice

Before Choice

If we were born to an Arab so the Muslim religion too
If a Latino then a Catholic and so the Hebrew became a Jew.

Not one person born on earth has had a prior religious human choice
We have been blest to be chosen, to come, and hopefully to rejoice.

Every culture and society from histories way back when
I question why the male was chosen and excluded the feminine?

The male gender usually held the cultural title's of power
He has been the one in charge. control, and killing, of most earthly flowers.

His singular thought selected the gods that were best for him
As emperor, Caesar, and king; each were divine and void of sin.

Only royalty could have intent, purpose and reason for war
People lived in fear of their rulers, and the violence; they saw.

The male ego is of self, pride and acts of masculine vain glory
They were and are; the authors, directors, and authority; of all mankind's destructive stories.

Man refuses to acknowledge his almost total lack of inclusion
His intent to confuse is obvious; as humanity struggles in confusion.

Everything we have and everything on earth we will ever get
To lose the freedom to think, question, and express; will make us forget.
