WOMeNS DAYS

A POEM BY BEN PARKER - 8/3/17

​

like wood and nails

women build us strong

feed us fruit and veg

so we live long

in times of distress

they sing us song

tolerate our antics

as our minds ping pong

​

we cant live without women

and everything they sacrifice

to raise a family and allow

their children to live nice

​

though i am glad we can say

times have changed

and now woman have careers

a thousand opportunities to

avenge a thousand suffragette tears

​

women can love man and woman

and everything in-between

a woman can be respected for 

being short tall large and lean

our future Prime Ministers and

Presidents are probably living as 

female teens

inspired by Michelle

to lead and to be more

im glad our generation

has its eyes open

and we can see more

​

i cant write anything clever

to correctly equate 

what women do for our lives

its not a subject you can easily

dissect with theoretical knives

i just embrace it for everything it is

and can be

as women become mire and 

continue to surpass man

in their ability to open their hearts

and minds

to new ideas motives and creations

to tighten world relations and 

bring our neighbours closer 

together

with smiles of gold and souls

tough as leather

as the beautiful creation known as 

women continues to endeavour
