THINK

By: Jamiel

As a ‘man ‘ thinketh, so is he
That is what we have heard.
As a woman thinketh who is she?
And whose is the final word?

Does ‘man’ mean species or gender?
What was GOD’s intent?
Did ‘S/HE’ give us this puzzle to ponder?
Or is this what ‘man’ has meant?

If ‘man’ has translated what GOD has said
How do we know what’s true?
Since ‘man’ did translate what GOD has said
What is a woman to do?

‘Man’ is ‘made in GOD’s image’.
Straight forward that would seem.
Or has ‘man’ made GOD in his image
With all that it would mean.

Is GOD really such a vengeful cuss?
As jealous as we are told?
How can ‘S/HE’ treat HIS/HER creations thus?
How can ‘S/HE’ be so cold?

Did God create these things in us
To do with what we can?
How can we be better than our creator.
That is not the ‘dominion of man’

“Male and Female created he them”,
That’s what the good book says.
Did “S/HE” mean as separate,
Or that which each of us is?
