Crow and Gull Attack the Pope's Doves
(Aquarius Sun Square Saturn in Scorpio)
The wind howls all around the house tonight
while images flicker on the screen—everyone is rebelling!
Orthodox Jews, refusing to serve in the Israeli army,
dance like black-garbed crows,
waving hands in the air like gleeful children,
as state thugs on horseback beat them to the ground;
Chechens saying nyet to Putin,
willing to burn down their cities for freedom;
Bosnian workers fed up—
not enough bread to feed their families;
Tunisia’s constitution includes
protection of the earth.
The UN blasts the Vatican
for shielding predatory priests,
for failing to protect children;
social media explodes with women
speaking out against the men
who stole their innocence.
I open a window, marvel at the fierce wind
blowing in from the sea, where, to the west,
waves are flooding Brittany and England,
the air so warm you could float on it.
Freedom is in the air
and it is thrilling.
Even high above and beyond, the planets
are doing the same dance—take back your authority!
Claim the power stolen by the priests,
the pedophiles, thugs, tyrants, users,
warmongers, thieves, despoilers of the earth—
it never did belong to them. It is yours.
