Lionesses Poem by Nassy Fesharaki
Lionesses
Lionesses
Read the Koran, Bible,
Both New, and Ancient,
Abrahamic Religions,
Judaists and Muslims
All sharing one founder.
With him came religions
To hammer poor women.
His world is just for men
To shepherd herds, women!
For many, many years
Concubines had to serve
Paying a debt from shame.
Blamed were the women
For the wrong of Adam!
No effort, nor justice
To seek cause or reason!
Aaron's son, descendants,
The priests and teachers,
Fooled women, repeated:
"Galaxies and mountains,
To Sun, Moon, and rivers,
See the shame of females! "
Recall when the women
Were shattered, broken,
Were devoted, prayed,
Asking for forgiveness!
United, roared women
Till as dead lost power
Patriarchs in churches.
Be brave, confident,
Go around like deer,
Yet remain lionesses.
There could be more to it, that can be found in history. One Simone de Beauvoir can not make all the difference, dear poet. The discrimination continues
3. Men were strong of arms (or of body) and so they were hero=worshipped in the ancient world. And these persons who commanded the tribes, made the laws, the rules and the practices. They found it to suit their lustful life to treat women as impure, sinners, Slaves, whatnot..
A profound writing. Really, a research paper on how women were treated under various religions. Maybe it is not the fault of the Religion or Religious Texts. I believe, it is the clergies, who were always male, who made such interpretations
Please read my poems (1) A Woman's Body (2) And Silence Is What I Choose (3) Women of Substance 01- The Mother
