THE GIRL KING

THE GIRL KING

Monarchs of the last millennium
Men Kings and Women Queens
For the latter was made voiceless
That she could lay no claim to her throne
Surrendering her heritage to matrimony

Kingdoms of the past centuries
Ruled by Men Kings and walked by Model Queens
For once, she chose to pass a decree
That was ruled a treason against her nation
Losing her tongue to slavery and her Kingdom to men.

Women of the last Decades
Kings and Queens they chose to be
And they fought hard to be heard and obeyed
That they be better than the Men Kings
Battling tradition for their birthrights and liberties

This is my dynasty
I am no Woman Queen
For I would rather be called King
Call me Radical, I do not care
I rule a Kingdom and not a Queendom.

I agree honey.
"For I would rather be called King

Be the king, be the boss. Powerful and worthwhile shared. I enjoyed the poetry.

Your words are so powerful and thought-provoking.

It's amazing to see how history has shaped the roles and dynamics between men and women.

The struggle for equality and reclaiming one's voice and power is truly inspiring. Your desire to be called "King" instead of "Queen" shows your determination to break free from traditional gender norms and make your mark as a leader.

Keep ruling your kingdom with strength and resilience, my friend!

I get it, I told my students for many decades that humankind would have been on the moon a thousand years ago had we not oppressed HALF our race...

This is my dynasty
I am no Woman Queen
For I would rather be called King
Call me Radical, I do not care
