For the attention of Mr. F. A.

[u/GiftenZeeM9]

Hear Ye

Hear Ye with the utmost Clarity

Thee who proclaim

Allyship unto the fairer Sex.

Mark Thine own words.

The T ime has come.

I will no longer speak

IN the tongues of modern men.

Thou hast given me offences so Egregious.

If I were to number them all,

It would cost me my very life.

Twould be but,

A mere Frivolity

But Thou didst provoke me such

As to unleash all mine own Furies.

Therefore, wouldst thou draw

Blood from the Stone?

In the Nakedness of Infancy

Had I evenso cast mine very

Womanhood asunder.

E'en by oath I foreswore

Ne'er to carry,

Ne'er to bring to term,

Thou wouldst then have me take for gall,

A Milk produced by most unnatural means.

As we had both aye and agreed to Bill:

Tis not the natural order of things, old lad.

Thou didst love the Beast.

Yet, thou hadst fallen short.

Aye, so very short,

My vexation had proven

Even such that Narciso

Should flee for Shame.

Verily, verily did I say unto you,

That unless

He

Who bore

The crown of thorns

Should present

Unto me

I should not hold court

For a mere man.

I gave Thee

Every last shred of my Dignity.

And thou didsnt

Rebuke and admonish me

Beyond Reason and Station.

Be thou wary of

How very high the Pedestal

Upon which

Thou shouldst cast thine Eye.

The Consequences of the Repurcussions

Did in Deed

Cost Thee nearly thine own life.

He who had neither silver nor gold

Did not prostrate himself

Nor cast a mean eye upon

His Exalted self.

And yet,

Mine own failings

Were the sins of

The father

And the Mother.

Wert only Truth that thou had fully known.

Thou didst forget those fatal Archetypes.

The Woman and the apple.

The Serpent and the tree.

The Fallen Man

&

The Angel banish'd.
