A Feminist's song

My song shall be the song of earth,

la la la..

i will talk the talk of cerulean skies

and vermilion hued roses,

skies and roses it is,

ofcourse if they talk,

blah blah blah...

There can be a totally non-masculine

way to hold this cigarette,darling you b*****d,

and there is more to me than heart breakage

but how could you do that ,love,

how could you break my heart,my tiny pink heart,

my dying purple heart,

my heart,my heart,my heart,

i'll arise from ashes and tequila  and your bed

like that birdie,

what do you call him  her,Phoenix.

A brown-she poet not desperate to be a man,

one day i'll get P.H.D in self deception

and that very day,

i'll finally learn to pretend that

i have never ever wanted to be my father's son.

. ha ha ! ... sweetheart, you already transcended gender ... by setting an example for an entire nation ... your nation ... and empowering girlkind ... more than any man ever could ... but of course, you're man enough to stand your ground ... all by yourself ... raising the bar with every poem ... and demanding explanations from the universe for anomalies ... while respecting your freedom of expression and encouraging it in others ... you are the voice of freedom of women in south east asia, dude ... or rather, dudette ... oops ... :P ...

The last line is a fantastic pivot back to the beginning. And embracing womanhood is a very powerful, wonderful thing without the need for any clichés of feminism (a subject I have delved into muchly). This portrays the outside in very well. I hope she finds the inside out. (Thank you for your review :) )

very bold and striking... well done!!

its not that you know the words , or the emotion ( you do ) , its what is behind those words and emotion that you know and express so well - the psychology .

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

This was a bold statement. There was a moment that gave me
a Nirvana flashback. I enjoyed it. This is some slamtastic poetry.
