Women's Liberation

Women's Liberation was included in my newest release Getting Me Back (The Voices Within) and it seemed only fitting to share it here (on AD) first.


Poem Artwork

We did not burn our bras but wore them proudly

Holding – supporting – glorifying the mammary glands that would feed the next generation

For the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.

We did not give animated voices to our vaginas for the world to hear

but let them speak in secret whispers that moved mountains.

We did not make a spectacle in the streets to prove our equality

For we knew in our hearts [already] that we were superior.

I wholeheartedly agree with Morgan and Ron; I would like to see this world "run" by women for a change that is long overdue. Thank you for sharing this meaningful piece, Janna. Love and best wishes,

First of all, I would like to applaud Mr. Hull's declaration that he is "not a woman". Your candor is much appreciated.

Excellent points, Janna. My guess is that the vast majority of women agree with you. Women are the backbone of our society and raising children properly is the most noble job on the planet. What women know in their hearts is far superior to anything that's babbled about in the media.

P.S. Ron is a great guy! He and I have had quite a few pleasant exchanges.

I am not a woman but believe in equal pay for equal work. And for an equal say in the affairs of humanity. For too long, the subservient role has had to be played by women whose men were incompetent.

Ron
