Radio, social media , tv are all talking about women
Some are classifying us as objects, not good for muchSaying we can’t be leaders or rulers because we don’t have semen
They need their egos intact and inflated; greed is their crutch
Others saying we can be superwoman. Can be strong
and have emotions; be kind, still be leaders.An admired lady speaking at UN, representing. We belong.
Stopping uneducated drivel, the equality others try to censor
More than vaginas, periods, emotions with cooking skills
More than boobs, baby-nursing and lower wagesEqual we are, just like the others; we’re more than giving thrills.
Intelligent, creative, witty; while the others try to keep us in cages
Just like the others are supposed to be good for more
than bar drinks, food tabs, door holders and better
driversJust like they are supposed to be smarter, stronger and so sure
Of themselves, thinking they’re secret agent Macgyvers
We are more than soft, blabbing irrational beings
We are more than silly girls who laugh at their dumb
jokesWe vote, educate, lead, heal. Do more than wild dreaming.
Damn it, we are WOMEN. Strong. Capable. Marvelous. Greatness we invoke!
