If you have ever felt “less than”, which let’s face it – who hasn’t? It might not be all of the time, but just every now and then. Remember that we as women are strong and powerful.
WOMAN
Woman rise free and strong
Don’t be subservient to a world all wrong
A world that says stay home and imitate a bee
The busy, busy worker bee
No! Woman you are wise, mighty and free
Free to be an amazing tool
Free to rule in whatever capacity
You choose to decree
That’s not to say
We rise and lose our femininity
It is to say, we stand proud
And claim our rightful place in society
A worker bee is simply that
A powerful creature in its own right
And so we don’t denigrate that little mite, but own
The premise that each creature
Stakes its place in time and space
So women of the world unite
And take a bite of that cherry
Taste and see how sweet
Sashay and move those dancing feet
We don’t need to run a home to
Show that this is our rightful place
We can choose to be whatever
We want to be or do
Doctor, lawyer, street cleaner
Creativity comes from within
It is divine and it’s your right
See that cherry – go ahead and bite!
Succulent and sweet its taste
Tarry for a while
Don’t haste
Woman you dictate your style!

Modern (and historical) feminism is one of my particular interests and I have been finding quite a few good / interesting posts about it lately. This has also been the subject of some of my own posts.
Good job 🙂
Happy writing!
