The Unappreciated WomanA Poem by Joseph C OgbonnaOppression of Women
Just take a good look at me;
My frame is attractive! It does the unsated appetite of the chauvinist fuel. My curves and your fantasies are mutually inclusive! Without them, dreams are truncated. But I am an orgasmic symbol. The self opinionated chauvinist designs me in his sub-conscious to serve and be utterly subservient. I am incarcerated as a chef, and timeless baby sitter. A baby machine for a patriarchal dynasty. My education is a threat to chauvinist ego. My ignorance hones his misogynist confidence, whilst my erudite head retards his self esteem and worth. The illiterate orgasmic symbol is his ideal and virtuous woman. The smarter and more professional is the age-old Jezebel. My chastity and virginity are twin virtues of a mutilated genitalia. My restrained sex urges are designed for his unrestrained proclivities and gratification. I must be restrained, for him to be unrestrained, because, share him I must with two or three others of my kind. But take another good look at me, and see a versatile womb-man! Translate each prejudice of yours' and see my remarkable antonyms. © 2023 Joseph C OgbonnaAuthor's Note
