Woman

How woman were expected in the good old days

We were expected to cook, to clean, to wash

That’s all we did, that’s we were expected of

We sat quietly, we talked softly,

Because woman are better seen not heard

We talked sweetly to the bitter tongs, we curtsied constantly to the slobs, we acted properly to everyone

This is because we are ladies

When all hope is lost we are the ones to break down and cry to scream in sorrow to wish we would die

This is because are females

This was because of how we were raised

Hundred years has past

So much has changed

We order food, we mess up our room, we throw the dishes in the sink

We don’t care what were expected of

We talk constantly, we talk loudly

Because that's how we are in this present generation

We bite at the bitter tongs, we kick at the slobs, we choose who we want to respect

This is because we stand up

When all hope is lost we curse at the sky, we punch the walls and yes we even cry

This is because we are human

This is how we raise ourselves

i like this, power to the women! poem. i liked how the poem evolved to present times, and how you made the contrast between the fact that woman had their own social group that disregarded their individual freedom, and that, now, women are accept more in society as humans, and have mroe respect. This stood out alot for me. And i love the line, "when all hope is lost we curse at the sky, we punch at the walls and yes we even cry."
