MAY DAY, HER DAY




The kitchen was theirs in the days of old,
They were the housewives, so I'm told.
So shall the real woman wake,
Early from bed and for her family bake,
The bread of life.
Such was the routine of a good wife.

What at all is house chores?
A mere sweeping and cleaning course,
Yet we're expected to praise them aloud,
And pamper them like a manner from the cloud.

If this mind of societal stereotype,
Keep flowing freely like a leaking pipe,
In an era of this economic hype.
Shall our women be healthy alive,
Even if indeed they do survive?

A career woman she's now called,
Aid to man when his pocket stalled,
Beautifully dressed to work,
Yet at home we fail to praise her worth.

This is poetry for May day,
A caution for men to make hay.
As she helps financially at home,
Assist her to tidy up the dome.

Now she's green and stands tall,
But green leaves too do fall. 
After all this grass has dried up,
What else will dare to spring up?

not MAN enough

Should I say breasted Swollen headed Rifty shouldered Or broad chested With the feet apart, fingers attached Reminiscing simulations of expected fallacies We still cannot promise  That which may only be a wish That by hook or crook We live not to miss One may hide his fear  Because people like him are rare Or when salvation is near But when a determined face  Is hidden behind a disposable mask, Then this is my take, "Lives are at stake For job security sake" Albeit: Positive mood and posture Creates a gigantean stature That holds onto a diminishing dream  And licks it like honey ice cream Therefore I am no moron In this metaphorical oxymoron; Of a naked dressed officer Wasting kiwi on black leather. But as we stand at our faith's peak It will take less than a week To prove we were never weak Courtesy only kept us meek But time on our side, shall speak And men shall find what they seek.
