You are awesome for who you are
The way you are
That love magnificent gushing through you
Hardest of hearts would soften and melt away
That passion of yours, earthshaking
Moves the world, fills it with laughter, lifts it high
Your gentle embrace, embroidered in heaven
Wipes out misery, radiant again the human race
The power of your grace, majestic and sublime
Puts evil down to utter disgrace
Sweetheart, listen to me
You… Give… Birth… To… LIFE
Can you ever imagine more power than that!
Empowering you?
What a fable!
Power is already all yours
Power isn’t a suit and a tie
Growing muscles or a mustache
Handling machines doesn’t make you great
* * *
Power isn’t waging wars
Commanding mass-killing armies
Leading nations with iron fist
* * *
Power isn’t climbing a ladder of “success”
Trampling over whomever is on the way
Fighting through arms and teeth, for the highest pay
* * *
Power isn’t running in a rat race
While self-harming children coil and weep, all alone
Craving mama’s love, tender hand and blissful gaze
* * *
Charity begins at home, they say
Men and women are completing not competing
Meant to dwell in harmony
Super clusters called family
Where children learn kindness, altruism, dignity and poise
How to grow love, and how love grows
Empowering women?
What a fable!
Power is already all theirs

Poetry for Palestine 
Fascinating poem. Drew tears to my eyes, of joy and reassurance that all are not fooled. Thank you endlessly for this reassurance to all women, and by reflection to all men as well, and to the mutual bond of Love they cherish, that multiplies Life.

I think that all women need to know this. That the nurturing side of us has more value than we are led to believe and that ‘Feminism’, in its eagerness to make us ‘equal’, has done us a disservice in its stridency and aggression. And yet women World wide are still submissive to patriarchal society which still too often treats them abominably, and thereby is the faultline in humanity.
