She who is called the Cat
Meow.
Meow.
Meow.
I guess women are cats now.
This should not be of offense.
After all felines are predators.
Dogs of the prairie are just prey.
Are predators not the best?
Names meant to shame.
She who shall not be named.
She sells her self throughout the night.
She who is not allowed to fight.
She forever forced into silence.
She who will experience violence.
Shamed by such names.
Why should we be confident, flawless, unwritten?
Because society tells us we are not.
Why defy the will of many?
What good old Socrates said.
Why?
why,
why.
WHY!
Lacking a just environment for the female.
Cages contain these feline feelings.
Cages built by patriarchs and antifeminists.
Prisons are zoos,
and the feline the prisoner.
She the lion, queen of the savannah.
She the tiger, ruler of the jungle.
She the president, official of the United States of America.
Is behind bars because of society's unjust ego.
Why does society say this is wrong, unnatural?
Why do females exist if men are of only importance?
Females exist.
Females are important.
Females the big cats of the vast animal kingdom.
We are important and NO ONE can tell us otherwise.
SAY YOUR NAME PROUD!
