Human kind
Human being
Where is
The woman
In " hu " and " being "?
Convention says
God created
Man first
No procreation
Without a woman
Shouldn't forget
Woman
Do more than procreate
Why do we say it is
Man's world?
Coin can only be coin
When it
Has two sides
Man can't procreate
Without a woman
Why say
It is man's world?
Because man dominates?
Why do woman allow it?
Who is to blame?
Systems & stuctures
Create unequal sides
Coin with two sides
Has equal value
Woman created from man
( Convention says so )
The flip side of man
Like coin should be
Of equal value
It is not
Man's world
'cos woman is
Of equal
Value to man

Thanks Ezana for your perceptive observation.You don't need to announce the obvious though " how handsome you are "... Your dedication is much appreciated.I am not looking to be a household name, just want to share my thoughts with people interested in poetry.I would like you to try your hand at writing poems or short stories " some day" when you are ready.
