Women

They born

They do not become

 

They are the pillars of societies

Or tribus

They are

They exist

 

Women,

Creators of rainbows

Of Angels

Of Gods

 

Women,

Show them respect

As you respect your mama

Your daughter

Your sister

 

Women,

We supposed to be all together

But the new societies

Makes us enemies

Cheap

Without care

With sympathy

Without empathy

Without self-respect

 

If women they could remember their purpose

The world it could be different

***

Poetry unites people

We are here to believe

To share our dreams

To share our verses

Our beautiful soul

 

We are here to cooperate

To feel

And bring happiness

Security

 

We are here to make our dreams in reality

We are here to respect

The nature

 

We are here

We follow our intuition

 

We are here for a better world

 

Wishing all

To love themselves first

To love each other

To give

 

Better give than receive

 

That makes us better person
