i am a woman

i give birth to a child 
that is married to me 
before marriage represented 
a ring of dependence

i am a woman that speaks 
to the womannness of creation 
and the birth of my children

my name is woman
my last name is family;
i take pride in my family name 
as humanity

i am a woman

without me there would be no birth
i am the mother of earth

if man’s creation is destruction of nature,
it is time to see that it is the woman’s time 
to give birth to a new man 
that respects his mother 
and provides for his family;
a true man empowers his womanness 
to be humble and allow her 
to lead the future of their children

i am a woman 
with an intellect 
who sees her purpose of wisdom 
to not seduce 
but to hide from predators 
and reveal enough to attract 
the healthy mind of the beast 
that has recovered from his hangovers

he came close to death so he realized 
that his mother gave him a heart;
his mother created the richness 
of his own beauty;
so he comes back to me

the woman

for he finally sees his true role in the family,
community,
and creation for humanity
