Woman Poem by Madathil Rajendran Nair
Woman
They said
You are my better half
Out of my rib you came
Bullshit, I say
You are the whole
You have never been half
Throw Adam to the winds
Eve was always full
All this talk about half and quarter
Coming off a rib whatever
Is just childish prattle
A woman is always full
As green as mother earth and lushly filled
My mom was full
A full woman all the while
No matter what my silly dad thought
No matter how many times she wept
Who would care what he felt
In his chauvinistic masculinity
That had no meaning
Beyond the hairs of his silly moustache
That greyed and died in time
We belong to a land
Where Mother reigns supreme
She stomps the heavens
As well as the earth below
She is the power
That creates the worlds
We call Her by a million names
And yet never are we satisfied
Woman, woman, woman
Mother, mother, mother
Get into the veins of men
Be their life-blood so
There always is a flow
Unto infinity
Unending procreativity
Oh woman, what is the world
Without you and your smile
Here are the flowers that I can find
From all over the earth
At your feet, never ever fret
Men know they can’t be
Without you on their left
Fools are they
Just forgive
For you are woman
You always forgive
Yes, believe or not, recognize or dump, praise or hate... matters little. Woman is always the supreme.She is the whole and soul to continue the race of mankind.... Thanks. You may read my poem A WOMAN
That greyed and died in time................ the moustache died? or was it dyed? Unending procreativity.........ok, this explains what you mean by full. the woman is always pregnant! ! ! ! Men know they can’t be Without you on their left............maybe this thought was how the expression right hand man came about? For you are woman You always forgive................oh, maybe in India. i'm in the U.S. and have been married four times. woman may ignore, they may forget, but i'm not sure they EVER forgive a man! ! ! bri :)
Take it easy Bri. Don't you like to live in peace with them?
my answer to Madathil's question, below: YES, I LIKE TO, but it doesn't always happen! ! ! :) bri
MN, Though I'm not sure i understand the poem completely (and i must remember that you write in India) , I now send this to my next showcase, in July,2021. bri ;)
In my Dec.16th 2016 comment (see below) i MUST have meant to type 'NEVER', not 'EVER'! bri ;)
