Dear Woman,
.
I pondered over it for way too long
An ode would do or
Should I instead pen a song
For thy deeds shall no more go unsung
.
I pondered over it day and night
How can all wrongs be set right
How can the ugly truths be altered
How shall my respect for thee be declared?
.
I pondered over it every passing moment
To seek a way out of atonement
For tying thy spirit to chains of obligation
For pushing thee down to lay my foundation
.
All pondering done, I hereby announce
All my sins shall henceforth be renounced
From sunrise till sunset,
One whole day to celebrate thy superpowers
.
Thee shall be put up on a pedestal
Decorated, thee shall be sung praises to
I shall look up, my pride all bloated
Thee shall thus, bow to me. Incredible!
.
From a well-wisher.
.
***
.
A golden opportunity that it was
Shame it is, but the Woman declined
A deal with self she made instead
She shall no more ‘choose’ to lag behind
She shall have no forbidden territories
She shall break free if ever be chained
Pedestal or hymns, she would never seek
She shall march ahead, aware that her past did reek
.
Thus, a day she marked to help her remind
Of the promise she made to mankind
