Galatea Won't Be Reformed

Galatea Won't Be Reformed

the muses refused the sculptor's call

moulding hands lost the touch

now they can only maim and destroy

give over to unseen forces

wait for them to deliver

in the erratic glow

of a shattered lantern

an air-borne debris waltz

in jagged shafts of light

Brownian particles

struggle to create

through interpretive dance

and staticky smoke signals

it was this way, or vice-versa

chattering indecision and bickering

they can’t seem to agree

but like Pygmalion

they miss the fair lady

you once were

in Never-Never Land

you have grown up

be it with organic earth

prayers or pixie dust

Galatea won’t be reformed

All "creatives" have those times. The ebb and flow, the tick and tock of the timely clock. It's noteworthy only to those that can relate. That's what we find hard at times. What is left to "relate" to? A never-ending fractal universe unfolds and all is changing yet ever the same and to see this is to comprehend a smidgen of the infinite. What remains after that except hammered repetition?

The reason for MGTOW I guess. I don't mind feminists, but they seem to have lost that fair lady persona into a less attractive personality for me lately. Interesting concept, Pryde.

I hope I'm not wrong. Apologies to you if I am. :)

I think at the heart of positive feminism, which gets very little play in the media, is equality, liberty, and justice for ALL. Liberty is at the heart of this poem. Positive feminism is what I have always practice. I count far more men among my friends than women. Incidentally. There is nothing in my heart or mind that wants to disadvantage my friends or my son for that matter. Feminism when done in this light, works equally for the liberation of men too. And believe me, although the climate was not right to speak out against those who used the #metoo movement dubiously, most life long feminists, like me, knew when it happened, and kudos should be given to the likes of Rose McGowan who applied the movement equally for the protection of everyone. True feminists ... who come from the point of the love humanity ... are you allies. Do your best to ignore and not give attention to the opportunists. They do eventually get uncovered.
