The Mother of Virtues |
| The first time it was an accident |
| We cursed ourselves for months |
| But its liquid eyes and little fists |
| Smothered our principled objections |
| We were doing what our bodies told us |
| We were vassals to our lust |
| It got easier every time |
| We were praised and congratulated |
| Fecundity is the mother of virtues |
| We didn’t feel bad about it anymore |
| We were doing what our bodies told us |
| We were vassals to our lust |
| We did it again and again |
| The spirit is willing |
| And oh, how the flesh is willing |
| We’ll thrust ourselves into the future |
| Again and again and again |
| And the birthing cries will bury |
| The echoes of the old koan: |
| Limitless flesh, limited means |
| It is right and good to drown the earth in seed |
| It’s what we were put here to do |
| And by God if we aren’t good at it |
| O, rejoice! |
| For soon the world will burst with wombs |
| The sun will claw for the trees in vain |
| And an ocean of bones will creak below |
