The Baboon

See Her sitting on a Rock

at the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro

She pulls a hide pouch from Her Mouth

She opens and spills 2x1000 clay figures on the ground

She shouts to the Sky

a Chant in a Tongue you cannot Form

from a distance it sounds like sticks being clacked together

She lights a Fire with Her Fingertip

and touches the chest of each and every clay figure

they rise and give thanks to The Creator

they sing songs of Her Power and Heroics

they chant and dance in random patterns

they light a bonfire and sacrifice a caterpillar

they pour gasoline into the anthill and set it on Fire.

She watches Her figures to devise Superior Strategies

She destroys them at Will to calculate effects

She wears the Cheetah

She grows Her figures into Troops of Baboons

She transforms Herself into the Rhino

She sometimes swims with a Hippo at Her Side

Every morning She stands and sings a song to Mt. Kilimanjaro

to you it sounds like the clicking and clacking of sticks.

She travels the cities as a Woman

young and old

She feeds the street children

from bags that never go empty

She Creates Forms from a Well that Never Runs Dry

When She travels the country

you hear of the phenomenon

people bursting into Flames

a "Demon" in the Jungle

who bursts out as Flames

See your Soldiers wondering "what new kind of napalm?"

when they find Her Work.

When you see Her in the city

it isn't like seeing Her in the country

See Her Scars

See Her sitting in the Desert

without a Mirror

making Artwork on Her Face

with a Blade.

She is The Cutter

Her Knife Hand Marks the Land

She Marks those She Favors with Designs no Being can mimic

Designs that Bless the wearer with New Strengths

She Marks the one who sells his neighbor

with grotesque and abominable Marks of Shame

ghastly smiles and grimaces

pieces removed from one place

and placed in another

Her Living Numbers making the abominable Function

In Her Hands

the "abominable" is not abomination

It's a Lesson.

See Her standing on Top of Mt. Kilimanjaro

See Her raise One Finger in the Air

See the Flame Rise from Her Fingertip

See Her place that Flame into the Bodies of the Dead

and watch them Rise.

See Her standing on Top of Mt. Kilimanjaro

See Her raise One Finger in the Air

See the Flame Rise from Her Fingertip

See Her Standing Fixed on the Top of Mt. Kilimanjaro

See Her Hands raised above Her Head

See Her Hands Move Fast like the Cheetah

See the Sparks Fly from Her Hands

See the Flame

See the Ball of Fire

See Her Raise the Ball of Fire in Her Right Hand

See Her Challenge you to attempt to dispute Her Truth

See Her Throw the Ball of Fire into your City

Burning everything to the ground.

See Her point out the smoldering scar on the ground

She tells you,

"See the wages of defiance."
