WOMAN

I AM A WOMAN!!!

So what?
 I get into an argument with a man,
 he slaps me, I feel the pain, 
 yet they tell me 
 I provoked him.
 I should have been quiet,
 I should have been patient.
 I should apologize to him.

I get into an argument with a man, 
 I slap him, they tell me
 I have no respect,
 No home training. 
 I should have been quiet,
 I should have been patient. 
 I should apologize to him.

 Because I am a woman, I
 don't have a right to be
 angry. So, the degree of
 my innocence is directly
 proportional to the
 degree of my silence in
 the face of oppression
 and brutality.....

Because I am a woman,
My husband cheats on me, 
 I am told to tolerate it
 to save my marriage. 
The barbaric and stupid
 excuse is that ''it is in
 their nature to cheat, 
 I should slim down, 
 dress better,
 cook better, 
 pray harder and 
be more pleasant to him"

I cheat, 
and I am called a whore, 
I have committed an abomination,
I have no right to look elsewhere
for the love and emotional support
 I lack at home, 
I am an irresponsible mother.

So I am sent packing,
From the home we both built, 
with all my earthly possessions
stuffed into a tiny box on my head.
 I am henceforth forbidden
from seeing my two older children, 
I'm lucky to be allowed to go with 
my little one still suckling on
 my left breast. 
Three years later, the little one
 is tagged a bastard. Now,
my new name is "after-three", 
because I am a woman.

He is 28 and runs a company.
He's tagged wonderful, 
hardworking, focused,
career oriented,
successful at a very young age.

I am 28 and I run a company
 "Hmmmm....
  she is not even married,
 unserious, can not order
 her priorities right, a
 hustler, loves money, let 
her go and get a husband oh"
And I wonder if being successful 
has anything to do with a person's 
Gender.

Because I am a woman,
I am not allowed to have
 wits or be a prodigy, 
 I cannot be
 financially buoyant, 
professionally successful 
or be treated with respect 
without a man beside me.

Then I am tagged 
A generous leg opener, 
  "a runs girl". 
They never see the possibility
 that I actually had to go
 through ups and downs
 to get to where I am,
 because I am a woman.

A man looses his wife to death
And remarries a year after, 
He did the right thing,
He's being praised
And congratulated for moving on,
After all life is for the living.

A woman looses her
Husband to death and
Remarries after four years
 "aaah! so early? Are u
 sure she wasn't sleeping
 with that man even when
 her husband was alive?
 That was why she killed
 her husband. She's a
 witch!" Because she's a
   Woman.

Because I am a woman,
 this post will be 
considered controversial,
and everyone will try to
 correct me. 
 But don't forget, that
 I am a woman
and it does not make me
 less human!!!

Share to respect some
 woman and Tell your
 woman that you love
 her

 Who is a woman??

 When she is quiet,
 millions of things are
 running through her
 mind. When she stares
 at you, she is wondering
 why she loves you so much 
 in spite of being taken for granted.

When she says I will stand by you, 
 she will stand by you
 like a solid rock. 
never hurt her or take her for
granted. A very heart touching
message by a woman. 
Someone asked her, 
Are you a working woman
  or a housewife?
 She replied: Yes, I am a
 full-time working
 housewife.
 I work 24 hours a day. 
 I'm a Mum.
 I'm a Wife.
 I'm a Daughter.
 I'm a Daughter-in-law.
 I'm an Alarm clock. 
 I'm a Cook.
 I'm a Maid.
 I'm a Teacher.
 I'm a Waitress.
 I'm a Nanny.
 I'm a Nurse.
 I'm a Handywoman.
 I'm a Security officer.
 I'm a Counsellor.
 I'm a Comforter.
 I don't get holidays.
 I don't get sick leave. 
 I don't get day off.
 I work through day and
 night.
 I'm on call all hours 
 and get paid with a sentence
 "What Do U Do All Day??"

This Is Dedicated to all women
A Woman has the most unique
Character like salt!
Her presence is never remembered, 
but her absence makes all the
things TASTELESS

  2. Beautiful and energizing. As a Man myself I am anti all form of violence and non-appreciative of women in our paternal lined society.

    I hope to be able to quote a portion of your poem some days later
