Shell of A WomanA Poem by Jerome F Knox III pseudonym Nefarious J. DorseyIn a homeostatic state Perfection waits As Utopia sighs And thrives From winged bees Cooling the beehives Of life Making everything Just right In the Justice League She is forever Enshrined In these walls As the decline In her mind Causes humanity's Tears to fall At her peak Barriers fell at Her feet She soared high Above the clouds Proud Towering above The skyscrapers Of men As she transcends Her reign comes To an end She was a Wonder Woman Sexy, feminine and Strong Helped fix what was Wrong by Reshaping gender Roles by Breaking the mode Showing the value Of womanhood Could and should Get equality In humanity By deciphering The code That men still Hold onto today In some way Shape or form Now at the height Of her decline She no longer Performs Sheroic feats She sweeps From beneath The feet The crumbs Of defeat Though she Remains meek Cleaning Up at a fast food Joint The point is No remembers The retired Sheroes Until their final Steps are made To the grave She may get a Fake salute Sprinkles of truth And trinkets from A silent parade She was statuesque Picturesque A Goddess, a deity Aphrodisiac beauty Then he came and Changed the game He performed surgery Causing her flaws To scar Because he didn't Like what he saw His tongue gashed her And slashed her Better and deeper Than any blade, made He punishes at will Though his fist Remain still All that remains Is the pain and The Shell of A Woman....... © 2015 Jerome F Knox III pseudonym Nefarious J.
