Iona: The Nunnery
This poem is a companion to an earlier poem I wrote on the subject which can be found at IONA: The Nunnery
I lament the waste of the wisdom of women
down the long ages,
and still in those places
where men are too frightened to see,
that half the societies
which they inhabit
have great things to offer,
if freed from the shackles
of male domination,
suppressing the brilliance
many women can offer;
so is at its heart,
rank stupidity.
