A POEM A DAY 141

WOMAN

A woman
Is an endless stream
A construct
Beholden to the ideologies of men
And circumstances
She has been confined to the walls of her home
She has had no say in the world around her
She has been a slave to men and religion

I am a woman
An endless stream
Deconstructed
No longer beholden to 
The ideologies of men or religion
My circumstance is of my own making
I am not confined, but free
I am not a slave to man
Nor his religion
