I have come from you
for we are born within each other
This book is written
about merging in the end
All that separates us is artificial
Just like looking at a rose:
Every eye no matter what color, race, crees or religion
whether poor, rich, Pope or Prophet
will see the same beauty and intensity in that rose
And to me
The rose is the source of our lives
That is what brings us together
That is where we come from
and that is where we go to
Let us realize...

In the last few years I've read rants against the evils of feminism from some of the top Evangelical and Fundamentalist Christian leaders who blame women wanting to go to work, go into ministry, and be equals to their husbands for all the social ills happening in our country. If women would just stay home divorce rates would plummet, no abortions would happen, public schools wouldn't be in trouble, and all the world's ills would come to an end.
