Women Poem by Robert Abok

Women

Rating: 3.5


Have you ever wondered as I do?
What women are made of if not steel?
God made us of clay but theirs is different
Sometimes I wonder what we would do without them.

Always have I marveled at their wisdom?
How easy they go around their business remember Sodom,
They have built and brought down kingdoms as troy
Sometimes I wonder what we would do without them

And I am tongue-tied at fast they can drain a man,
To do as they please and that's the strength of a woman
With a single touch they can take those like to the moon
Their words so soothing that they can take those like me to the moon

I have nothing but respect to the women of the world
They have done nothing but make the world go round
Hats off to Eve who by the fruit ruined the whole race of man
To Delilah who by her beauty took from Samson all he called strength

I raise my glass to all the mothers of the world
Who brought us screaming and tamed it all for they whispered all was well
High five to the daughters of the soil,
Who by their dressing define what fashion ought to and should be?
Wiser than you can ever think, but not any wiser than they think they are
Hats off for that woman, that, girl who you always offers you a shoulder
