I am a woman,
Yes I am a woman
A woman who forms part of the makers of human kind
A woman who nurses and makes sure humanity continues
A woman who refuses to be suppressed by heart wrenching relationships
A woman who weeps for the sufferings of her ancestors
I am a woman
A woman who refuses to be humiliated
A woman who refuses to work for someone to take the glory
A woman whose fortune lies not on tall beds and clothed holes
A woman whose hands work to feed her
A woman whose main wish is to make the world a comfortable place for her wards
A woman who will not be insulted and made a slave
Only to die a pauper
I am that woman
That woman who rocks your brains but not your cock
That woman who speaks with eyes wide opened and not half closed
A woman who refuses to be the enemy of other women
I am that woman who wants to be the change
I need in this world
So look up
Look into my eyes without taking offense
With respect while we engage in this discourse.
