Women.
We're people,
just like men.
We're not things,
property,
sex toys,
or trash.
We're not something
you can say you want
one minute and then,
the next minute,
say you're over us.
Women.
We have feelings,
desires,
needs,
wants,
fears,
brains!
The Government seems
to think that we are stupid.
That we can't think for ourselves.
Well the jokes' on them!
We can decide whether or not
we want birth control.
Whether we want to get pregnant or not.
Women.
We're more than
just a "piece of ass".
We're more than
just some fuck and dump!
We are people,
humans,
with feelings!
Although, personally,
abortion is not something
I'm for,
that doesn't mean
I'm gonna tell everyone
that they can't.
It is up to us,
us women,
to decide what we
want, and
how to deal with something
if we don't want it.
Women.
We are strong,
we are smart,
we are not things for
others to use.
We are WOMEN!
We are STRONG!
So TREAT us like Equals!
Because that's what we deserve!
Good poem, you are right
Good poem, you are right to stand up for a better equality for women, and not on man's terms but on womens. It is good to hear your views you have my vote on the subject.

Love it.
Love it. As women we need to stick together and talk about the issues we face, not avoid them or hide them. We're worth more than we're given credit for and this piece helps reminds those who have forgotten. We're not here just to be a piece of ass or a sex object. We're women with thoughts, feelings, desires, goals, and a million things. If we wanted to be property we'd be a house not human beings. I'm glad you took a stand and helped address the issues. Well written and crafted.
Well, it's thanks to YOU that
Well, it's thanks to YOU that I took a stand. What you wrote the other day about what we're seen as as women, really got me to start thinking, and that is how this poem came about!
What you wrote about it was great also. Anyone who's reading this comment, if you liked my poem, go to http://www.postpoems.org/authors/poetic_eyes/poem/978226

thisisme...
sometimes, i watch political shows with my family. it gets me thinking and makes me want to speak up. poetry comes more naturally to me and so i write a sonnet. it addresses the issues in a creative, assertive way. your poem is just as effective. i want to post the link of your poem on my facebook page and on the poem itself.
Oh, wow! Sure, go right on
Oh, wow! Sure, go right on ahead! Thanks :)
