He drops the seed
She nurtures it for months
A new creation,
Almighty birth power.
Women given the womb
To carry the life.
To feed the embryo,
The bearer of faith,
Gestation is just.
She conceives shelter, food, 
Breath for life to survive.

He drops the seed,
A Jabez experience
Claims the territory.
Being born out of pain,
Storied to be
Condemnation, punishment 
Purported because of “Eve.”

She carried the seed,
Ask where forth we come?
The Tree of Life?
Tree of Knowledge?
Is it a curse?
Labeled a seminal experience,
Where the sovereignty of 
The male rules?
The Old Testament
Told the story
First of glory,
Then an anthropomorphic God,
Can become “cruel”?

The author of the text
We can only genuflect 
What is to glean?
The newer script creates grace.
Eve and her sisters are noble,
Not disgrace.
Sheros accounted, gave
True delivery.
A new birth, not bound,
But free.
