Woman Fight For Your Place In the World

Be not apologetic if you spend your efforts being happy and kind
There's not enough happiness or kindness in the world
In preparing for Life it's best to fall in love first to learn its vagaries
After acquiring this new knowledge feel free to pursue your dreams and go out and fight for your place in the world and your human destiny

After experiencing love your heart is alert now, be not the false woman
who lives under the thumb of fake yellow hair or fake gold glitter
Be not from the world of narcissism, be in the world for all people
to have opulence in your life may be only good luck 
but think that to have less is to have more

Escape from the shadow of wickedness
cast a penumbra of goodness over iniquity
as the world approaches the end and all is done  
know that Good will always conquer evil

A woman I know went looking for the devil
until a very wise person put a mirror up to her face
her reflection shocked her senses
she soon realized it was OK to be herself

As looks are not the measure of a woman 
integrity and self-respect are
know that all life is protected by God, 
even the Devil's, who once was God's favorite 

Don’t let your conscience condemn you to mediocrity
strive for excellence; it is the only way
Let the majestic sun guide you with confidence 
wrap your destiny in an intrepid heart 

But be mindful the thinking of the world is warped
your goodness must always fight the malice of Man
all people must begin to see each other as family
with help progress can be attained for everybody

Racism, the anti-brotherhood belief,wreaks havoc in our country,
nothing seems to correct their deformed hearts
It’s apparent a different kind of ethical, 
benevolent teaching is needed

Organized religions are not the answer 
they only twist errant thoughts of human thinking 
Their stupor is borne out of an absence of empathy
they follow morally deficient, ethnically corrupt
and monochromatic leaders with racist axes to grind

Compassionate people never yield to tyrants, male or female,
Be from the ever loving side of love of this world 
that gives harbor to mistreated humans and animals
stow it in your breast 

Be the happy benevolent person you are meant to be 
know in your heart the truth
that caring for one's fellow humans, 
living creatures and Mother Earth is paramount, 

Then like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon 
come alive, see our world and how it needs love
Love to help heal our ailing and hurting planet
before it's too late.
