WHY VENUS NEEDS MARS
WHY VENUS NEEDS MARS
Why it is that Venus needs Mars? Life on earth seems to need
A slaughter; it is always the kill that feeds a family. The female
Waits for the strongest bull to do the perfunctory goring.
Life on earth seems to need so many of these kills to create the
Softness of our indulgence. It is not only meat on the table but
The perfumes, hides and jewelry of these kills we seem to need.
Now, animal rights activists are there for such admonishments;
However, even if the animals are spared, there seems to be no
Injunction against killing humans for the scent of conquests.
Yes, there is the rectitude of intelligent smart bombs and the
Exactitude of our killing power; however, when Mars presents
This to Venus as his paramour, how is she to be aroused by this.
In the science of musicology, the lord of this world condemns
Half the world to death; music is a testimonial to that. This is
Why notes of a funeral dirge rise and sink in the cold Atlantic.
Oh Venus on the half shell, by what magnetic response are you
Enamoured by such carnage; it is Mars who looks to you for the
Assuagement and mollification of such bestial wrath and death.
The question as to why Venus needs Mars can only be answered
By why love needs lust. Perhaps this question is answered by the
Attititdude of why love is based on the injunction of a conquest.
