Unconditional love, you show your mother,
But forget she’s also a daughter of another.
Where does your empathy, your respect stray,
When another's daughter stands in your way?
You rob her youth, her peace, her mind,
And leave your wounds for others to find.
You worship God, the ultimate creator,
Mother Earth, and nature, your nurturer and saviour.
But what of the women, the earthly creators?
Where is your concern for these life-sustainers?
The shameless gaze upon a friend,
Or the harsh critique as they near their life's twilight end—
Do you not see the gifts they bring,
The goodness that's woven in life's every string.
Boys like you, in games, degrade,
Discarding women like trophies displayed.
Do you think it’s cool, in your virtual reign,
To belittle her efforts, her dignity stained?
Undressing her in the halls of your mind,
Yet expecting her always to be kind.
Boasting of conquests, as a mark of integrity,
Laughing as though it proves masculinity.
Do you think it wounds her soul for good?
Does it make the world a better neighbourhood?
You label her insane, unrestrained,
Yet parade yourself as the one who’s gained.
