Woman's Defeat Poem by Elizabeth Padillo Olesen
Woman's Defeat
Riding on a lonely sea
Of being not wanted
Of being not asked
Of being not listened to
Of being not loved,
She cries and laughs.
The lonely journey
Is cold and stormy
Far away from the Tower Light,
She then plunges herself
Into the arms of the waves
Accepting her lonely fate.
-
refuse to struggle.

Dear Eindaray, thank you so much for supporting my writing on women issues. Just today the princess in Denmark, Princess Mary, is on her visit in Brazil, partly visiting the women's center that tries to uplift the women's situation. I listened carefully to the stories of these women as they came forward to tell their own stories of pain and their stories of hope. We have much to do. And if our poems can help express the women's struggle, the women's joy and hope, then I think writing is a powerfu and helpful instrument....
