I'm A Woman Poem by Emmanuel Karikoga

I'm a woman...!
I was gifted with this beautiful body and groovy hips,
I carry the next generation in my womb despite the birth related risk.
I can patiently wait nine months, on 24/7 with the baby in my womb,
I have the audacity to conceive once again albert the time it previous took,
To birth and nature the first one.

I'm a woman...!
This body was proudly passed down to me by my mother and I don't regret that,
I'm strong, I absorb certain pressures and pains because I have the guts,
Even though my male counterparts think and assume they know otherwise.
I won't waste this precious time and energy to prove them wrong,
Because what makes up a women, is odained by nature itself,
And I embrace that with courage cause nature understand better than man.

I'm a woman...!
This body is a precious temple of the Lord and not just some ordinary toy,
Treat me with respect and I will exchange that with absolute joy,
But if you treat me like a slut, I will unleash my charm and alight every cent,
Secretly hidden in your pocket, wallet or bank.

I'm a woman....!
Stop treating me like a minority because of my gender,
Afford me the opportunity to lead basing on my qualifications,
Avoid pre-judging me cause of the things you failed to attain as a man.
I'm a woman, I'm not ashamed of that,
Treat me with the respect I deserve in all aspects and I will do so likewise.
