Respect Your Goddess

Men!

Huge percent treat women bad
what the hell is our issue
somehow this make us feel glad
making them use a tissue?

Discern nothing nice to say
revel in our unkind role
what makes us act in this way
don't we care about their soul?

We should not be talking down 
to someone we say we love
instead fitting with a crown
arrived on wings of a dove

Respect them with all our heart
let them know they are our world
simple plan, but it's a start
their wings becoming unfurled

They should not ever feel ties
to someone keeping them down
pains me when a woman cries
even when she wears a frown

Treat them as a fragile kit
be their protective armor
everyday show them we're smit
with comfort and our ardor

But what bothers me the most
lack of attention some give
on cruise control we do coast
should leak from us like a sieve

How does one not notice her
Aphrodite by one's side
others should be but a blurr
yet her face one wants to hide?

INCORRIGIBLE - to me
this thought of concealed beauty
there are others who DO see
and feel it as their duty

Willing to bow at her feet
giving notice whence deserved
unabashed - not rude - just sweet
the heart of their soul she's verved

Keep playing those silly games
they'll finish by losing her
watch as her desire wanes
and moves to someone else, sir!

Login to Reply Keith Osborne Date: 2/5/2017 7:50:00 AM I am a little floored by your wonderful comments. This was the third written for a certain muse that is ignored a lot. Bothers me when a woman is not cherished the way she was intended. I know that I'm not perfect, but I try, at least. Too many of us take the ladies in our lives for granted. Thank you so much for reading. I will try to find some time soon to read some of your work.
