A room
Slashed in two.
Only men there.
And none here, please.
Let's not be savages.
Pretend at civility.
Smile, only at those
Kitted exactly like you.
Put your square attitude
In a square hole.
Run
When conversations run
To anything beyond
Your holy trinity
Of husband,
Children,
An in-law or two.
Judge.
Comply.
Obey.
Venerate.
And if you
Ever
Find the time,
Grow a spine.
sad but true! and yes, that spine growing is highly seconded!
ReplyDeleteIt bugs me no end when I see women being cows. Why can't you be a wife/ mother/daughter-in-law/ home-maker/ big shot professional and still be a thinking, real, INDIVIDUAL? Sadly, my profession is full of these 2D cardboard cut-outs.
