Title; The Other Version Of Man

Who is a woman?
You say, one who was perfectly carved out of man's bones.
One who should treat a man like King in the day, and
lock him in ecstasy like Prostitute late in the night till
He throats in pleasure over the wee hours of dawn.

Was a woman made for just the kitchen and
The other room? 
Was she not given soft flesh and red blood like the man?
Is she not an entity to be served by the man too?
Why is she shut and relegated to the deepest shadow of partial slavery?

Hearken! A woman is the different version of man
Created with solid materials to absorb the opposite
Characteristics of man: Where she extends-breast, the man sinks- chest.
And where the man extends- peter, she sinks- orifice in between her legs.

She's powerful, capable of wrecking a full generation. 
Where the man treads two miles, the woman would go four. 
She bears the pain that can kill the man for nine months
Why then do you say she's weak and too soft?

Who are you to dictate for her? 
She's a complete independent vessel capable of working wonders,
Capable of rewriting history and redeeming the glory of a falling nation.
Give her a chance to try and you'd realize we have been unfairly sequestrating
The other version of man.

IBRAHEEM YUSUF

TITLE; To End Feminism:

All genders should be set free
no superior between she and he
each should freely search for glee.

We must bridge the gender gap
for it's just a booby trap
that causes too much mishap.

Genders are birds of a feather
so they should flock together
and fly freely in the aether.

Listen to this clarion call
let not any gender appall
when one falls, the other falls.

If we slay male chauvinism
and breathe life to socialism
no one will shout feminism.
