The Voice of a Woman Thought Stupid

I'll rather work in the farm all day
Than to be used as an object of trade
I'll rather work for naught
Than to be awarded an oil well
For my skin to be used to sell toothpicks
I'll rather work for penny with my degree
Call me names if you like
Uncivilized, oppressed, unliberated,...
I care less if you say I'm stupid
I'm free of cunning eyes of men
And I'm not a 'common thing' to be kicked here and there

To all the beautiful gems of the world who prefer to be modest...

Every Woman Should be

Thanks for your comment... Though every woman on earth should be proud of the uniqueness of their gender some dont. And some joyfuly sell out their pride for peanuts...
