These Words For You

They say Him, He who existed before time    
created the universes, planets & starry night    
6,000 yrs ago & seven days the world was made    
then why does it take over a million light years    
to feel the warmth and radiance of the sun rays    
   
They say women are magical and extraordinary    
the givers of life and love worthy of all praise    
yet some are genitally mutilated, brutally raped    
battered and abused, some kept as sex slaves    
others are murdered & buried in shallow graves    
   
They say I believe the children are the future    
if this were true then why are some not birthed    
reared and nurtured,  clothed, schooled or fed    
many sleep in gutters and alleys, left for dead    
   
They say you should see the good in people    
but I believe you should see the truth in people    
men frightened yet fearless, clamoring strength    
women are fragile possessing a callous libido    
   
They say that we must obey, obey whom I say    
I know not tyranny, tyrants trample beneath me    
from the dawn of time, the first step taken upright    
man has been dealt a wicked blow yet we thrive    
   
They say you should not be different, just try to fit in    
hide your uniqueness, assimilate your individualism    
you should be stronger than me says Amy Winehouse    
I see them cowering, asking what are we, men or mice    
   
Will you still love me tomorrow, if I dare to think differently    
they say love is blind, so I pen these words for you    
of mice and men, man or mouse, I pen these words for you    
in tears I awake alone, yet still I pen these words for you
