"Women"


Women. The evolution has changed drastically. First there were role models, then there were icons But now a red sole defines one as her majesty. From the likes of Sojourner to Rosa To now as prestigious as Michelle Obama Yet they are thrown on the backburner due to television drama. Women. The essence of woman has changed And there are quite a few things to blame. The intelligence she speaks no longer defines her But rather what is below her neck and on her backside guides her. The bus she sat on to get her point across is no longer of importance But to sit courtside at a basketball game is her dream of getting courted Women. Bad is the new good Though is it too good to be true? Does a degree make a woman bad too? Does possessing leadership skills make a woman bad too? Or does she need the latest Giusseppe’s to be in the “bad” crew? Or as I would like to call it, the sad crew. Women. So many fought for us to be recognized and have rights But obviously some women do not respect the fight And all those morals and values have gone out the window overnight The evolution of women is still being evolved To be a leader, classy, and a woman of intelligence overall Though the direction it is headed is solely a woman’s call
