Eun Ji, life on the planet is born a woman
I’m not ignorant to the fact
In their wombs the magic is held
In their bosom sweet like fresh gossip
And the roots of familiar chimes
The moment of change is like a woman
Changing fairly well I assume!
Adapting and socially connecting
Though a thinking woman sleeps with monsters
We false name the beast we loved
In order to call him a Man we admired
It’s exhilarating to be alive near a good woman
You feel in her the idea that
The planet is awakening though
I sometimes wonder what a mother’s battles are for
Her child with sickness, poverty, lack of education
Waged in love and with the passion
For survival, how many women must be sacrificed?
And art whose honesty must labor through artifice
That cannot change the place of a woman
In such a barbaric society, as this?
Let them rule the world, I’d say
If they had the time, birth rates are declining
So what’s with the glass ceilings, friends
It’s their bodies, it’s the destinies of women
That have to change, to change the world
The world won’t change without them
False histories are made up of
The power, money, politics & war games of men.
You have given us a lot to think about with this piece, Wuji!
Thanks Min, I was hoping to be a bit provocative I guess.
Beautiful, Wuji … In this world today, (even from the beginning of time), that men (sorry to say this) many evil bad men treated women in a very wrong way. Even evil deeds befall little children. I am glad and very thankful that my grand father, my father and my brother, and uncles are really great men who has honor and deep faith. They treated their women like a gem. You are one of this gem too – for the things you wrote up there, perhaps might change some mind of other on how they should treat their women and other women as well.
Thank you for this brilliant piece of poem, my friend … π
Thanks Sherrie, I grew up with a single Mom and by my grandmother so in some ways I know women better than some men. You left me a provocative comment thank you.
You are so welcome, dear Wuji! π
Big topic, some striking images here, thank you!
