A Unity Forged from Hatred Enclosed By Love


The woman She wants to be powerful She wants to be equal She is beautiful Yet she is invisible To society To reality And she cries silently inaudibly To the man she is nothing To some she is everything To some she is a queen To others she is an impossible being They slaughter her confidence With deadly words To follow their competence The laugh with each other like little birds The woman Low with self esteem Suprises everyone by being keen They reach deep inside Where their deepest fears hide And they find the love the needed And all self hatred from then on receded The woman now strong enough to take on the man Believes in herself and says I can I can be powerful I can be equal I am beautiful And no longer will be invisible Not to society Not to reality And I wont cry silently I will cry audibly The woman is beaten The woman is abused The man hit them And for evil women are accused They are abandoned by their newfound love Into a tight corner they are shoved They turn on each other The trust they had is there no longer At the moment when they should be united Alone each fight Weak they stand divided As they use hope as a guide The pain keeps on going And the men dont notice That they are calling their name And they fight and fight until they are full of shame. Then the fighting stops The last piece of armor drops One by one they make across the battlefield Without any protection or shields They look to see their enemy They only see a mirror They start to weep terribly As the man puts a hand on the womans shoulder They both smile at each other Realizing they should work together They regret all the destruction they caused Start to love each other with and without flaws The man no longer abuses The woman no longer fights The man no longer acuses The woman no longer cries All is well All is fair All is well All is fair No more pain No more death No more shame Only love and health. The woman The man Live alongside each other For they realize they are better together.
