Woman Power

Woman Power

She is a beautiful soul inside out,
She is a strong and an independent woman,
Without a doubt,
She is a lady of sophistication,
A short story to tell,
It began,
Many years ago when woman were taken for granted,
Treated differently,
Unfairly,
Unequally,
No one would listen to what they wanted,
Their suggestions weren’t even heard,
And if they were,
It wasn’t taken into consideration,
Powerless they were indeed,
They were inferior to men,
Because,
Men had felt that woman are much too delicate and somewhat too soft,
That they were underestimated and unable to deal with tougher situations as men could,
Men would dictate,
Woman had to do,
They say, you strike a rock,
You strike a woman,
The consequences are great,
Real men don’t beat up woman,
One day,
Woman gathered the courage and dominance to fight for their rights,
And so they fought,
And they won,
Today we have a special day recognized for all of these lovely woman,
We celebrate their courage and equality,
She may be young,
She may be old,
She’s a woman, treat her with respect,
Treat her with dignity,
Treasure her like gold,
There’s plenty more of this story to be told,
But for now,
I dedicate this poem to all the woman of the world,
May the story of woman reveal and unfold..

9 August - day celebrated in South Africa for woman.
