Two Ways of Living
An original poem about women’s rights that can be read two ways.
I am nothing in this society
And I refuse to believe that
I have a purpose
Not many realize that
I am what you need
Is a lie
That we are not used for cooking and cleaning
Making mistakes
Is more important than
Learning
I will tell you that
Women are set up to fail
And it is untrue that
We will become greater than what we are now
In the future,
We will be stuck in a cage called a house, where we are forced to listen to the barking orders of our men
And it can no longer be said that
We have control over what we do and our future
We have control over what we do and our future
And it can no longer be said that
We will be stuck in a cage called a house, where we are forced to listen to the barking orders of our men
In the future,
We will become greater than what we are now
And it is untrue that
Women are set up to fail
I will tell you that
Learning
Is more important than
Making mistakes
That we are not used for cooking and cleaning
Is a lie
I am what you need
Not many realize that
I have a purpose
And I refuse to believe that
I am nothing in this society
