Peer into the heart of a woman
and tell me, what do you see?
Is it a woman shackled to pain
crying in despair
at the weight of her chains?
She breeds, she bleeds, and she dies
as a lesser being,
in servitude to a man.
A child of Eve
reduced to chattel by the church,
mothers and sisters sexually
physically and mentally,
used, abused, and exploited
by fathers and brothers.
It's time for women to break the chains
of conformity
and assert their rights.
Men oft act like arrogant apes,
out of step with time and truth.
And yet, they are lords in a world
of their creation.
For they have always coveted being kings,
and secretly still do.
Women must pry power from their grip,
they will never give it up freely.
With few exceptions,
every macho man
feels the only right a woman has,
is the right to pleasure him.
So, step up ladies,
and show them they're wrong!
