Power behind the Throne

Is it man or woman who controls this land of ours?
Historically it's man who's shown that he has all the powers.
But women know  they're certainly, the Power behind the Throne,
controlling man so totally, as he brings the bacon home.

Just lately it's apparent that the female of our kind
have ceased to be content in just controlling from behind.
They know their strength and now insist on strutting it about
taking credit for their mastery is what their game's about.

So man now feels he's threatened, he was quite content before,
he was happy doing as he's told behind his own front door.
He’d go to work and struggle making woman’s dreams come true,
and carry out the orders that his woman said to do.

But even mice can turn you know, and man's now had enough,
he's the one who feels that he is in control, and tough.
So now a battle rages for his standing in our land,
please woman of the world be nice, why can't you understand?

You've always had control of man, since Adam lived with Eve
your wishes came before his God, he proved it in one deed.
But now you fight to take his pride and make man fall in line,
I wonder as the roles reverse just what will come with time.

Maybe we'll see a different world as women take control,
as man adopts his second place, accepting his new role.
But slowly as all men evolve to be the ones at home.
I wonder will this also change, the Power behind the Throne!

thought provoking poem...and a discussion just two days ago in our home...I believe women have accomplished much, but some feminist movements have taken things way overboard...some women, can be non forgiving...and want more and more.

I believe the strength of a woman is immeasurable...now before you ladies get your dander up, also know, that I support any woman who is fair minded, gentle, a lady and dedicated to her family first.

As a woman, I still love it when a man opens the car door for me and extends his hand to help me out...in my travels, due to the woman's movement, I've seen some poor men who don't know what to do, stand there confused, "shall I open the door for her, or shall I just let it go"  

I work for a corporation of many cultures, and see some women who are outstanding leaders...yet others are pushy and insecure, blaming others for their mistakes...most of the secretaries make this statement, "I would never work for another woman"  I myself, have only worked for one who was well suited for her position.  

This would make a great topic for a thread in the Alley....

Hugs for this...

Many years ago I gave a presentation to a mixed gender group entitled 'The devolution of man'. As tis was an interactive presentation (and under camera) it was, to say the least, interesting but fun.

I have worked for women and women have worked for me in my life and I celebrate the differences, too many want to abolish them!

It's when both men and woman strive for supremacy that problems occur.  Me, I'll submit anytime!
