No Change
In a pride of lions, the lioness hunts while the male stays back
In many species of birds the male's bright feathers elaborate dances and song are desperate attempts to attract female birds
Female preying mantises eat the male after mating for extra protein
When was it that she was known as Weak Unintelligent Submissive Worthless
To put her head down in shame of who she is?
To be a cow, tied up and sold
To be a prisoner, chained for her gender
Forced to pull a curtain over her words and actions.
Itching to tear that curtain down Shred it to pieces with the claws protruding from her pain The claws she must keep inside her while they slowly lacerate her insides
She bleeds to death No one sees No one cares
Its culture Its custom Its how God meant it to be
She is taken advantage of Its her fault
In the East she is sold for a cow She is worthless
In the South she is traded for savings She is worthless
In the West she is raped for her actions She is worthless
No
She is a lioness ready to hunt A powerful Amazonian warrior unafraid and ready to fight
She stands at the top of the world, gazing down at a horizon of never ending earth
She is free
Tall Powerful Strong Intelligent Leader Fighter Smart
No
She bows her head in submission
She is nothing
Her chains rattle against her swollen ankles
She screams until her voice shakes and cracks
No one hears No one cares
No change
