VOX Poetry
As soon as we come out of the womb
We are born into a world of doom
of responsibility and blame
no freedom and no voice
not ever given a choice
expected to mumble and mumble
to deserve nothing and be forever humble
to carry the burden up a mountain and not tumble
to be quiet meek and unheard
to never be obscene
to have only reasonable dreams
to never let your mind unravel
to be realistic in your actions
to stay within your factions
to never get too bright
never to oppose or usurp a man’s birth appointed right
to give all and to receive none
to live your life as a woman until your mind, body and soul done
