WOMAN

Woman, rise up and assert your power
For generations you have been suppressed
Let the world know this is your hour
There are certain issues to be addressed

In dealing with areas of dispute
You tend to be much more tolerant
Making you more likely to find the truth
And well suited for management

You have shown in the field of education
Regardless of the area of learning
You can hold your own against men
Yet workplace equality is lacking

Woman, rise up and assert your power
For generations you have been suppressed

Thank you Socrates for lifting us women up. We indeed need to walk the walk and talk the talk....SM bouquet yay

Nice poem.

I think women are our worst enemies.

We compete against each other instead of support and raise up each other.

certainly a work in progress in many countries, in New Zealand we went through militancy in the 80's, in my opinion women with some ambition have nothing to worry about here now but its taken a generation, but then I'm a man aren't I so can't completely judge :) Now women who rise up militantly are seen as a bit of an anachronism.

Lovely sonnet Socrates,
I can't disagree with your words.
Strong message delivered in style.

many women do just what you stated:
they walk the walk and talk the talk.
I feel very strongly this will increase with time.

Thanks for your very appropriate comment:

"certainly a work in progress in many countries"

Your Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern,
and also German Chancellor, Angela Merkel,
are examples of such women

Good write as ever socrates.

I have found since being a young women to now things have changed immensely.

I grew stronger and attitudes changed too.

I am lucky i do no for were i live, it is not the same for all females.
