WOMAN

WOMAN

A Poem by EMMIE

I BROUGHT YOU IN THIS WORLD
MEN, MEN, MEN!
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM
I AM A WOMAN
AND I'M NOT AFRAID
YOU BETTER HUSH WHEN I SPEAK
AND YOU BETTER LEARN WHAT I TEACH
DO YOU REALIZE WHAT I AM?
I AM A QUEEN AND I'M NOT AFRAID
I AM THE CREATOR OF ALL KINGS
THROUGH POWERS GIVEN TO ME FROM ABOVE
I GIVE LIFE TO YOU
HOW DARE YOU TAKE MINES AWAY!
HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME SUFFER FROM RAPE
HOW DARE YOU SCAR ME AND BLACKEN MY FACE
WHY AM I INSULTED INSTEAD OF EMBRACED
HOW DARE YOU DEGRADE ME, CALL ME OUT OF MY NAME
WHEN OUT OF ME YOU CAME 

I BROUGHT YOU IN THIS WORLD
MEN, MEN, MEN!
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM
I AM A WOMAN
AND I'M NOT AFRAID

This is deep.
This gives voice to women.
Women deserve our respect.
the same way women also need to respect men.
We all need to respect each other ( it takes two to tangle ).
I believe The Creator made us equal ( Men and Women ).

NICE POEM!!

It's so very true.. I personally consider women are much superior than men are.. but people don't acknowledge this fact, but they should... Excellent work emmie.. :)

Your words are true. Need woman to create life. I will never understand places in this world that believe woman are less then men. Woman teach love to us from the moment we are a spark of life in a woman body. I like the emotion and reason for the poem. Thank you for the excellent poem.

I understand the thoughts but they are both fair and unfair... being angry at all men victimizes us as much as the few that hurt you. Your strength partly comes about in our recognition and acceptance of you as the person you really are... and not a continued object or toy. There are other parameters and boundaries. No excuses, no reasons or reasonings... but equality carries dual weight.
