The Weaker Sex

An organism so vulnerable, a leer of malice could violate
Everything a man does, and then some, dancing through hate

Life throws open choices, you can cross-dress, change sex
A fetus will transcend and beget her own, accept or vex

Women's representation, female quota, gender bias
"It's a man's world." Well, without them you don't exist, get this?

Hormonal, emotional, physical and biological, tectonic shifts
"Speak softly, dress modestly… Don't you dare ask for a lift!"

Kitchen, house, kids, profession, friends, whatever else
No juggler, nor a slackliner, just a mother, and her tales

Pain is unpleasant, avoid it or get through it, by any means
Convulsive cycles; inexorable, coerced to fall apart at the seams

The crown jewel in the Creator's body of work; sublime
Molested, brutalized, used and thrown... Move on, it's perfectly fine

    1. You're far too kind, good sire. This one cajoled me; to go down and dirty, into the depths of despair. That's created a sort of demarcated, yin-yang-esuqe; juxtaposition.

    2. You too need to try and be kinder by using the language of us, poor peasants, sometimes.

  5. Today she is not the weaker sex in the urban jungle but the hungry wolf that wants it all. I think years of oppression has done this to her otherwise she will always be a mother to me and my children
