An Ode To the Male Ego

Are you intimidated?
Do you feel threatened?
By a woman?

A woman with more than half a brain
A woman who can stand up for herself
A woman who can take control

Do you think women should bow down before men?
Do you think a woman's place is in the kitchen?
Do you think?

There's more to a woman than her breasts and assets...
There's brains, there's power and there's a person

Men like you make me sick
You, who are almost 30 but want an 18 year old for the "perky breasts" and "tight hole"

Men like you are pathetic
You feel better when you have a woman under your thumb
You feel like you're in control

But....
where ever you are, there will be a stron woman
A woman who has an opinion - And expresses it
A woman who won't "get in the kitchen and cook you a steak"
A woman who won't put up with it when you can her a wench
And, there will always be a woman who can kick your ............

I Am

I am a killer whale
Black and white

Riding on a wave 
On a clear, moonlit night

I splish and I splash
Then I come up for air and
I go back down
To my friends way down there

I swim and I dive
Then I look around and
I see everyone has left me down
                                            down
                                                 down in the deep, dark sea.

I Still Cry

On August 12, 1998 my Mom died
All I know is that I cried

When I rushed from my new home in Edmond
All I did on the way there was cry

I got to the house and rushed to her room
And I saw that everyone was crying

I looked at her and saw the pale yellow in her skin
And all I could do was cry

I looked into her yellowish eyes, full of pain
And all I could do was cry

Then a single tear fell from her right eye

She took her last breath at 8:15 am
And all we could do was cry

The very next day I had to go to school
I was new, and sat alone at lunch and cried

Cancer took my Mom away
And still today I cry
