Where Have All the Goddesses Gone?

When Mother Eve fell from grace

Massacio’s Adam turned his face.

When Artemis’ bow lost its sting

all the satyrs flooded in.

After Ix Chel’s temple fell

hotels sprang up on Cozumel.

With Demeter despised, shunned

residual poisons leave us stunned.

With Aphrodite degraded, mocked

the porno business leaves us shocked.

With Sophia’s radiance lost

can we continue to bear the cost?
