Women In Chains

Peer into the heart of any 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 breathes, she breeds, 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 their chains of conformity and assert their rights. Men too often act like arrogant apes; out of step with time and truth. And yet, they rule in a world of their creation. Men have always coveted being kings; and still do. With few exceptions, most macho men feel the only right a woman has, is the right to pleasure them. So, step up, ladies, and show them they're wrong!

All I can say is THANK YOU, my friend. The power of your words is a trumpet call for women to accept and grab onto their giftedness and for men to support and encourage women as you have in your verse. Congratulations on your win! All the best.
