Gill's Notes::Women's day

WOMEN'S DAY


When God sat down to make a woman

He gave her empathy love and compassion 

By the time he finished with her

He had no more left for the man


He gave her the ability to be a mother

And nurture and take care of others

Slowly, on reflecting, it dawned on her

She was being treated like a piece of furniture

 

At first she resigned to her fate

Bore the indifference of her progeny and mate

Slowly she realised she didn't have to be a victim

And didn't have to be at the mercy or everyone's whims

 

She knew it was not going to be an easy battle to be won

Yet she took on everyone

She began to firmly express her views

And waited to get her due

 

We give her food, clothes and roof over her head

But the woman had empowered herself to earn her own bread

Car, house and thus managed to redeem 

With her hard work her self esteem

 

She had made a tough choice 

And finally had a voice

Men tried very hard to keep her in her place

And made sure she got no space

 

Her sanity and peace

And learn to live with dis-ease, 

Then her inner voice whispered to her

Don't resign just pamper 

 

So go ahead and do your own thing, 

Let him feel you owe him your sense of well being.

Women's liberation never went down well with men

So don't chant what women want while you are in your den

 

God, you made smart 

Right from the start

It took us a long time to realise

And become cool, calm and wise 

To use enlightened manipulation

With a subtle passion

While having our own way

So that he may

Feel we were just following his command

And there was no reason to feel alarmed</span>
