Joseph Elward Poet Epic

Female Silence

I fell asleep in my chair
I  awoke and a room full of smiling women
Looked at me
With Death’s Stare


I asked myself
Am I dreaming?
What are these women scheming?
I fear my mind these women soon will be reaming


What made me dream this way?
My boss yelled at me today
Too much work stress
My brain abscess
Heart and soul in distress


I heard on TV there are more men than women
Women dying and killed in record numbers
Female Final Slumber


Male Violence
Men creating
Female Silence


I looked back at the Cabal of Ladies
I fear I have a room at
The Hotel Hades


Their smiles gone
The room suddenly burst into flames
The women screamed out in pain
Their anguished cries driving me insane


I fell to my knees
I begged them for a Quick Death
They said after I listen to how they all died
Maybe then I could take my last breath


One was stoned
One was beheaded
One was strangled
One was burnt alive
One was led to a cliff and forced to dive
She did not survive


There is no Honor in killing


All the women committed the same sin
Wanting to be free
Male driven Female Genocide for centuries


Still going on
Way too long


All the men swore to love and protect these women
Fathers, Husbands, Brothers, Sons, Friends and Lovers all lied
Allah Cried
Love Denied


Evil dark music filled the room
Flames Rising
Tribal Trance Treat
Tantric Drum Beat
The women danced
I was entranced


Satan and Jesus
Came in the room
They approached the women
And both told The Flock they are
The One
Follow me to Eternal Fun


All the women laughed and turned away
From their Saviour
These women no longer crave
Male Behaviour


Then out of the Flames
I was approached by 
The Head Dame
My Dead Mother aflame
Smoldering in front of me


My Beloved Mother said to me
Son you don’t have much time
It’s true you never committed female crime
You never got out of line
Why don’t you write a rhyme


Tell all men of future women yet to come
They need to be free
And will not be Men’s Property


These unborn women will demand to experience life
Free from Male Strife
And be warned
If Male Violence continues against women
And Men refuse to change


Then one day all the women will be gone
They will refuse to be born
Men will no longer be turned on
This will signal
Man’s Final Dawn

Alexis Y. July 31, 2016 at 10:03 AM Hi Joseph, This is a good take on the theme of the contest. I must admit I got emotional reading this write. It's so sad and unjust that women all over the world are still being treated unfairly. Good job! Congratulations on your 1st place win. It was well deserved- 7:-) Alexis

Sunita U.D Palawon July 31, 2016 at 7:13 AM Congrats on your win with this 'dare tell the truth' poem... Unfortunately those who believe to have risen above are committing other crimes, what are past to them is regretfully still the present to some and ironically none is working to release the other in this world of total hypocrisy! :) Sunita
