The Ghostwriter Poem by ed purchla

The Ghostwriter

J, it's been proposed,
Wrote the source material
Used by the writers
Of the three most popular
Monotheistic world faiths.

J is said to have been a woman.

From the Torah to
The Bible, to the Quran,
The present concord,
Bearing an androcentric
Narrative, leaves one inured.

Feigning ignorance,
Abrahamic adherents
Of the Supreme Court,
Deny this country's women
The rights to their own bodies.
