Hard To Be a Man In a Woman's World

We live in a world that’s “all about woman”, what we have overcome, Achieved and still strive for Poetry reminds us to stay humble during a time we so often abuse the simple phrase “girl power” to use as a tool “Girl Power” a phrase used to encourage our sister’s, to stand up for our sisters or to simply excite our sisters before an evening out. A phrase generally used in a group; therefore we should be careful with these powerful words and the damage they cause, not only for our opposites but for us We once yearned for the opportunity only to speak and now that we have that right, we use it to break our men down We fought in togetherness to get where we are and now that we there, we bully our way to get further The magnitude this simple phrase holds was meant for every woman and yet we using it against our sisters, simply because they are not part of We have been given the opportunity to truly show our worth in all aspects A 21st century woman knows she is strong but this means nothing if she doesn’t hold the hand of the weak A 21st century woman knows that she will succeed but this means nothing if she walks over others to get there A 21st century woman knows she can be happy but not at the expense of others A 21st century woman knows when to take a step back and allow her man to prove his greatness, for there is a greatness in men which many of them have forgotten A true gentleman who knows he is worthy of won’t settle for anything less than a true proud 21st century woman Let us all go from “You make me a sandwich” to making sandwiches together
