MEN WHO THINK THEY KNOW ALL WOMEN

There are many droplets which make the sea
I dare an eye to claim to each know and see
Even witchcraft has its bounds
Because they have many hounds
So when you stand on podiums to talk
Know your generalizations do you mock

II
I hear those who claim women feel good by talking
Implying there is no introverted woman
I hear those who claim women think only about the kitchen
Implying there is no woman who leads men in the whole world
I hear those who claim women’s pent up anger
…always takes years to clear
As if petty men exist not
What about those who believe women are unintelligent
More times I find those are ruled by the thumbs of their ‘stupid’ wives
“All they care about is their looks”
Massa, your energy and self esteem chose the domesticated fowl
…because it feared the eagles
Whoever your wife is
Whoever the women you’re interested in are
Tells greatly the human you are

III
So sit silently and know the women you know
…don’t make up the whole world
There are different classes of men
There are different classes of women
Talk about your class
Know other classes exist
Classes you’ll never be blessed to know
For you’re either too far below
Or living in a dream too far from reality
…to know the difference
Between what you think you know
…and what you don’t know, you don’t know
This makes you sound like a maggot
…acting like a parrot
In a cage of ignorance

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)
