WOMEN AND MEN’S EQUAL RIGHTS

 

Joined together in relationships or matrimony
It should be a pleasant life’s journey,
Yet they argue and fight
About who is wrong or who is right

 

Man’s ego makes him think that he is the boss
This futility certainly ends in divorce,
He thinks their finance only comes from his work
She also labors and that is no joke
The axiom that “woman is a companion to man”
I disagree, she is his right hand
Be he right or wrong she is always there
Her strength placating his every fear
 
Women are gifted with equal mental capabilities
Much stronger she is, dealing with life’s adversities
Men who treat women with derision and scorn
Please remember, without them, we wouldn’t be born!

“Woman is the companion of man, gifted with equal mental capacities. She has the right to participate in the minutest details in the activities of man, and she has an equal right of freedom and liberty with him.”  Mohandas Mahatma Gandhi  1869-1948
