Woman's Look

Saudi Arabia & Michelle’s Look “No women are left behind with justice!” -H. Smirch Her scorching look, A mouth-shut grin, with defensively flowery dress, Michelle’s falsetto indignation Makes all of us feeling so damned good; There was no fume, Not a growled kiss, just that road of a free WOMAN Into this spitefully state where Women, oh lovely ones! They are just a piece of death. No murmured birds are allowed, she appears to grow, husky wind, This beautiful First African Woman has challenged that entire dare To speak the true of being a free! I loved her caustic face, full with grace, rising, beyond The star, her confident posture next to the men; Confident, contradictory, vociferous photos To the entire world to see: This is a woman, black and free: To look — in short, totally Michelle’s soul, A message, and relevant to these pretty princesses It is time to open doors and get down to the 20th century! O, woman! Appeal in heaven, Eve, God, they are no a piece of meat With luxury factory in frenzy; they are women in choices and desires; O, woman! Worldly woman, to the women, my women, rising Throw up hands in disgusted resignation against The Saudi’s mess! Your men should be together with you or otherwise, Let us break chains and veils and let us rise! And why not, smile with Michelle’s look seriously In camera, or rather in the middle of the desert, With that love in contempt and ready to yell I cannot take it anymore!

I don't know wether to laugh or cry when these feminists close their eyes on Saudi women and talk about other countries.

I see that you haven't written on Soup in a long time. Thanks to your comment on one of my poems, I found yours... I love this poem, it is an ode to women, isn't it? Beautiful or not, angry or sweet, confident or contradictory?
