WOMEN's DAY TODAY
Friday the 8th of March 2019

What day izzit today? Olala, WOMEN's DAY…….? ! !
I cannot say nor shout Hurray!

Since there are still things going on in the world,
that cannot bear the daylight.

Indeed there ARE still myriad subjects, I have to say here.

Our King does not know about these things going on in real life.
he reigns behind his royal desk and listens to his advisors

this Monarch and everywhere in the world is not absolute anymore,
that means that our Royal house is just functioning as a symbol

the true rulers are the ones who have seats in the government.
they can decide too whether we still need a monarchy or not.

This is the truth about our monarchy.
I must admit that I may feel lucky to reside here.
I believe that that is God's wish.
Women are treated here better than in my land of birth.

There are FIVE countries in the world where WOMEN are treated the worst
by their government and their husbands, yes the men next to them, daily and in their life.

You can google and see the result
in which countries rapings and abusements still happen.

Please, be not shocked:
these women are still raped,
beaten and treated bruskly.
These are done by their own husbands, believe it or not:
by their OWN SPOUSE.
These women have no future at all.
In most cases, they die of too much STRESS of the daily abuses.

The abuses by their husbands have caused much and much stress
all the times these abused women can only smile, cry and years later die a premature death….

No, this time I cannot create a poem about WOMEN's DAY since their standard of living and their QUALITY of life have not changed yet.

the world emancipates,
the position of women fluctuates.

IF I MAY SAY: Men must undergo emancipation based upon heavy sanction without any fluctuation

this ought to be done as daily doses….




Thank you for reading and commenting.

A man who is about to employ force on any woman must bear in mind that the woman represents his wife, mother, daughter or grandmother. A marvelous poem of value that touches on a social issue.

Sexual abuse on women is still rampant all over the world. The financial, .physical and position of men over women make them vulnerable to abuses. Men having edge with respect to physical attributes, endowed. with force greater than women must use this power to support women and should not be used as a tool to weaken the other.

POWERFUL write. It asserts the position of women in society. A position equal to men in all aspects in life. I agree with the great Poetess that there are still many women subject to abuse especially sexual
