Venus Defiled
The glory shorn loses its power and mystery,
It stares with the allure of a skinhead's smile,
Like a plucked chicken, a lump of meat,
Cold to the eyes, it is robbed of life.
A childhood image with loss of innocence,
Denying the wisdom of maturing years,
Prepubescent lines that mock the Goddess,
In the sterilisation of the natural world.

Denying the wisdom of maturing years,
Prepubescent lines that mock the Goddess,
In the sterilisation of the natural world.
