Yesterday

What happened yesterday 
Can change  today. 
When a person understands
His" her" capacity 
He "she" can not see borders
To enter some world competitions 
Where racism and injustice
Are not principal choices. 

Power of beauty and wealth,  
Some  daughters of some poor in the Competition with some daughters 
Of some rich people.  
Yesterday when I saw you in miss universe,
I said,"wow!  Yeah, they  are there 
To show their beauties
As other races. " 
Participating in such 
Universal competition, 
It is not an easy task. 
From local competition to national, 
From National competition
To universal competition. 
To have a miss universe  title.

Yesterday,  
When I heard about  black American women
Who won  miss America and miss USA 
Another black african woman who won
Miss South Africa and miss universe. 
Their wins encouraged 
More black women in the world 
Who were discouraged 
By injustice, tribalism, 
Regionalism, 
Corruption and
Racism in some countries. 

Power of beauty and wealth, 
A beautiful woman that  a man saw yesterday 
Can stick in his mind for some years. 
Men  know what they want,
It is hard to change their choices. 
White man marry a beautiful black woman
 " or white woman" 
A black man marry a beautiful white woman
 " or black woman." 
Men like the beautiful flowers ...
 It is their nature.  
Beauty women are  like beautiful 
blue, black, red, rose, orange, yellow, 
white, khaki, chocolate, green flowers 
Every man has his favorite coulours. 

Power of beauty and wealth, 
The style of beautiful women of yesterday 
Differ to the style of beautiful  women of today 
But their attractions don't  change in the eyes of men. 
Beauty of a woman is 
A strongest  magnate 
Which attracts, 
And captures 
Millions of men 
But 
The wealth of a woman 
Is a silent 
Missile 
Which terrify trillions
Of world  men.
Majority men are arrogants and
They  hate to be dominated
 By any woman. 

This piece of poetry portraying  some truth, 
Naked truth about small matters with 
Some solutions. 
Majority  rich women of yesterday 
Were so  arrogants and
Those of these days 
are still very arrogants. 
Marriage of two arrogants... 
Man and woman
Can not last, 
Unless one of them bound.

Your poetry "Yesterday" is fantastic. From the first verse to the last, I was engrossed. I am happy for you that you won.
Thank you so much for more encouragement. It is always hard for Poets who always bring all races " all continents" into poetry... " generalist poets" Thank you again for your concern and enjoyment after reading this piece of realism poetry. Your most welcome dear Sotto.
