King Among Men
You think you are the
King among men,
With your cool eyes
And ruby lips.
You think you have the
Right to rule,
With a harsh tongue
And a winning smile.
You spread poison
Through mouth.
Consume air meant
To go to the less fortunate.
Your heavy head
Does not
Equal my
Heavy heart.
Your power consumes
While mine gives.
Your influence can end
Thousands with a breath
While mine gives life
To thousands more.
Your pretty looks
Mean nothing
More than a
Wilting rose.
A dying fragrance
That was never sweet
To those who
Could not smell.
As I could
Not smell.
To me,
Your looks mean
NOTHING.
Like dirt.
You speak
And preach
While people stand
And believe your lies.
They stand and listen
To my truths
My wisdom
My words of experience.
They believe
My power is strong.
More so
Than yours.
You are man.
You mean more
To other men
Than to me.
I am woman.
I am the backbone
Of your filthy estate,
Of your conscience.
You think you are the
King among men.
Think again.
I am queen among women.
