POETRY OF CONSCIOUSNESS: "...BRAVELY MADE A WOMAN" BY INTROVET GWESHE

I was born, Why?      

  To be in the kitchen, To sweep, to do the dishes. To wait for a man ,who will ask for my hand in marriage.      

             Then I'm taught how to treat my husband right.        

  After marriage I have to give birth to an heir, if I can't give birth to a son  

   I'm considered a shame to the family,a disgrace to my father.    

       All and just because I'm a woman.                    

   I'm a woman who believes in what she wants. 

             

     Nothing is stronger than a woman who believes in what she wants.                 

    I believe we all need equal treatment.             

    The country should be a place where we are free like birds not confined like prisoners.     

        I will fight till the end, I got Beauty with Brains.             

    I'm a bravely made woman.

The poet persona laments over the extreme subduing  of the feminine sex. The voice is ready to stand strongly for her fundamental rights as a pure human.
