Sadness Reigns Around this world Sadness reigns... Around this world Bells toll... Across these lands Babies cry Women sigh Men don't know why... (and some don't care) Across these lands Hope is lost Faith is muddied Tears, plentiful Flooding the soul... A WOMAN Cannot(according to mores) Or Should not Show... Longing... Desire..... Unfulfillment... Burning urges..... YET... When a WOMAN Cries...she's too emotional Rages...she's a fishwife Cheats...she's a whore Desires...she's unappreciative of her man BUT... When a MAN Cries...some woman used him Rages...he is justified Cheats...his woman didn't take care of him Desires...'tis the way men are ('Tis not a RANT about men in a I don't like men way...cause I love them) YET... A RANT it is.... When loneliness enters into a life When satisfaction 'tis not found When heartaches become overwhelming When hurts can no longer be numbered When age is creeping faster than before A WOMAN.... Yearning for better Desiring more Fed up May decide to Put up with no more... But... She still CRIES Because...she is WOMAN Who is not afraid to show her feelings To express her inner thoughts... To love unconditionally..... To LOVE!   Post to The Peanut Gallery    ·    Send your comments to the poet   Previous   ·    Back to Ginny Lloyd   ·   Next   Copyright ©1996, 1997 The Unofficial Soup Kitchen
