Who Gives a Fuck about Who the Mother of Mohammad Was?
“Buddhist texts do not think it necessary to give her a stable name.”
~ Nayanjot Lahiri, Ashoka in Ancient India
If you are destined for a Cheops place
In history, your mother does not need
A chiselled name. Men will not want to trace
It with their fingers. What has been decreed
Will not need stone or steel indications
About your mother anymore than she
Might need to be remembered. Whole nations
And more, huge empires with one dynasty,
Have come from mothers never named or who
Have been forgotten. Many might be said
To be a prophet’s mother. Priests construe
The facts with fogs. Uncertainty is bred.
..The woman doesn’t matter, not the one
….Who spread her thighs for fate. Men want the son.
