Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

Woman

I am pleased to be born a woman
Because that's what I am
My anatomy proves this
It did not have a plan

I have the body of a woman
I did not have a choice
I do not speak like a man
I have a feminine voice

I wear dresses sometimes
I often wear jeans
I do not feel masculine
By any means

I am no better or worse
Than anyone else on Earth
I do not think I'm cursed
Because I can give birth

To a new generation
I can't do this alone
I need a man for germination
To love and call my own

Political correctness seems pointless to me
Man is Man
We are all part of the Human race
We need each other like a lock and key

I find it all confusing. too much fuss
We should be writing about important things
Forget me
Remember us
