Superwoman!

Re-posting this poem in celebration of International Women’s Day.

Superwoman

Woman, thy name is suffering universal

Fettered

Leashed

Bound

Chained

By tradition, prejudice, hatred, perverted passion and

the whims and caprices of man-made rules

Liberate me to reach the stars

For there I belong

Among the firmament

Talent brimming

Superwoman
