Brown Curves
Brown Curves sway and dance and move as the queen navigates her space on this earth.
Brown Curves - her sanctuary, her temple, the womb of humanity has always been hers, but for a short time it was stolen from her. It was used to produce children to be bartered and sold, so that her oppressor can accumulate his wealth. Thomas Jefferson said "A (enslaved) woman who brings a child every two years is more profitable than the best man in the field." Her temple, fully commoditized as a slave factory, robbed of rest, worship and pleasure. But that darkness was temporary.
Brown Curves marched forward, strong yet delicate in it outlines and basking in the power of this own hue and contours. The queen moves from slave factory and returns to her divinity, -- her body is hers again. She moves feely about the earth, chooses her own lovers, produces children for herself, expresses pleasure and discontent as desired, empowers and influences others, generates burning desire that last well into the queens twilight years, stands as the ideal for beautiful bodies, heals communities, generates it own wealth, protests injustices, worships vigorously and communes with the ancestors ---- all, with great fluidity. How truly divine are these Brown Curves!
Brown Curves are now regularly defamed because they no longer generate wealth for the oppressor; so many fail to see their divinity, the true cradle of civilization. They say they are dirty, worthless, not worthy of protection, for sale, should be for sale, for use, for misuse, for labor, for abuse, for, for, for, for! But No, No, No, - Brown Curves are primal, so very primal ----- we cannot do without them, we would not be without them.
Strong Curves, Divine Curves, Life Curves, Warrior Curves, Healing Curves, Beautiful Curves........Brown Curves. Well done my Creator, you have done a splendid thing!
