Woman of the Earth and Sky,
All you have wanted was to fly
free from the chains of Men
that have held you down
having no option but to drown.
Drowning in a sea of pain
so that the opposite sex could gain.
You hold your head high
turning a blind eye
cross your heart and hope to die.
Changes of the season
gave you power of reason
exposing the shameful treason.
the men are fighting
fearful of the rewriting
of true feminine power
The Woman will no longer cower.
Swallowing an ocean of courage
outraged by the unfair suffrage
Her voice will no longer be masked.
The Man responds: thats its not all men.
defending their position
time and time again.
To insure a selfish gain,
even though they can see her pain.
The Woman,
will continue to hold kindness
even in her silence
There will be no condolence
for the gender-based violence.
The Men are fighting
Fearful of the rewriting
Of true feminine power
The woman will no longer cower.
Alexia Gouws
