Jesus said, “Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit. You brood of vipers! How can you speak good things, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The good person brings good things out of a good treasure, and the evil person brings evil things out of an evil treasure. I tell you, on the day of judgment you will have to give an account for every careless word you utter; for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to him, “Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.” But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so for three days and three nights the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth. The people of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the proclamation of Jonah, and see, something greater than Jonah is here! The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon, and see, something greater than Solomon is here!” Matthew 12:33-42
Queen of the South
The wise women elders know
that the world has turned cold
cold to the needs of the people
uncaring for the plight of children.
They gather and send us out
to seek the wisdom and truth
to look the corrupt in the face
reminding them of justice.
The wise women tend gardens
they raise their children well
their trees are full of good fruit
folks flock to the for understanding.
The wisdom of our age is wealth
corruption, consumption and greed
our Mother earth is burning up
our warrior women are rising up.
Come to the circle all who ache
for justice, kindness and peace
the daughters of God are rising
to bring a new love to our earth.
