Let’s address the balance.
It shouldn't have to be
International women's day.
As if women
only matter today.
Their rights only exist
for this one special day.
They shouldn't have
died for their cause,
Or been kept always
on the bottom floors,
As if a woman's hand is only capable
of doing household chores.
They deserve the earth
and it's applause.
When us men are too focused
on creating
hurt and causing wars.
Without women this world
would flatline.
Its vital signs would cease.
heartbeat decline
its breath
would stop
in a single gasp
and the future would run away
in retreat.
The mothers giving guidance,
the advice we rely on.
Where would we be without?
Well firstly
an empty planet.
of that there
is zero doubt
but so much more than that
equality should just be a fact
and knowing that it isn't,
really is a travesty.
Rights need to be shared equally,
But men need to stand together
and demand change,
and this won't be easy for some
But it's the only way my friends,
We have had the world bent in our favour
For too long. So now it's time
to flatten that curved path
Straighten the graph.
Women have strength
that us men can only mimic,
we don't carry life within us,
we don't feed nor nourish
and all the while still flourish.
Women have love, in abundance,
a bountiful river flowing,
without them we would be redundant.
Women are powerful and brave,
they don't need us acting
like white knights to save.
We need to stop thinking
it's them and us,
Division in all walks of life
needs to be given the push.
Embrace the equality
Be the one that sees this
is what we need
to make us human.
