Oh to be a modern man No rites of passage
Trashed religious package
Caught between news of marauders
Brutal abusers and Benny Hill musers
All tarred with the same brush
The seduction dance frozen
G-spots, wi-fi hot spots
Loose Women programmes
Fifty Shades logjams
Performed and written by feminine forces
Poor men …
Like animals or birds
Forced to dance, lock horns,
Preen their feathers
Not a word or thought out of place, Until she instigates Her policy of no regret
Just don’t dare to refuse her
Don’t then say no …
For it’s the woman scorned
That makes Hell’s fury seem nought
It’s Salome that had The Baptist’s head bought
It’s Delilah had Samson’s power clipped
It’s the other man’s wife
Clawed Joseph’s back
Then blamed him …
So …. The Human, being me,
Meets The Human, being you, In the dying art of animal husbandry.
As Robert Graves is purported to have said, “there are so many women and so few men”.
This poet was intimating the old way of the masculine serving the two feminines.
The biology gives a symbolic clue.
Woman is xx, man is xy.
Together there is x(x)y(x).
The ‘y’ is the Excalibur, the poetic function serving the ‘xx’ of Nature with the messages from the unseen (x) of Supernature.
This earthly ‘y’ is connected to the unseen ‘Y’ much in the way the ‘mu’min’ is reflective of ‘Mu’min’ and is the illumination, protection and peace that belief brings to knowledge. The ‘Y’ it could be said, is beyond gender like HU or AUM.
This inner marriage is only possible if The Muse and the The God, the Invisible ‘X’ and ‘Y’ assist the man both in his travails and more importantly, in his return to serve the feminines, the two Brides.
If this inner marriage is not present then the configuration is xxx(y), the unseen turns ruthlessly and erroneously masculine, the xxx denoting poison, pornography and the prostitution of the soul, as money and a cartoon like patriarchy dominate a culture – no men husbanding as Her Bridegroom at all, just a bitchfest, a parody where the supposed leading men wear funny hats, large roles and uniforms to hide their disconnect.
The Muse ‘X’ and The God ‘Y’ though apparently different in material representation, are in Essence – One.
This symbolism is reflected in the two Marys surrounding Christ, Mary Magdalene and Mary The Virgin. It is also present in Muhammad (pbuh) when he said three things were permissible to him whilst on this planet, ‘women, perfume and prayer’ – this is symbolic of the two feminines and one masculine, or two passives and one active with perfume symbolising the active, connective, message carrying function.
☯️ The Human, being active, serves The Human, being passive, in love. Salaam. 🕉️
