The Modern Woman

if you call her a mere housewife
you've only provoked an infinite conversation
on how, and why ,is a womans life
ready they are to take a national stance
like an old,dusty,but effiecient rifle

tired of familiar house and chores
unmindful of the dishes,they can lie
while they pursue much ,much,more
beyond and farther than meets the eye
whetted also to be an economies core

unto the existence of prfessonalism they cling
than house-work,the world is so changed now
and gender is more of an equal thing
tha speechlessness,like a dumb cow
the woman won't settle for lesser anything

patient slow walking as she was created
the woman has creeped into anoutspoken figure
than for the peculiarity of the breasts,or long curls
twisted ,or seperated
she has taken her place,among noble heights

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
