~Before you read this, I am in no way putting women down. I don't mean for this to be offensive. I just wanted to speak my mind~ "Woman is the dirt of the world Yes she is... think about it Woman is the dirt of the world Think about it... do something about it We make her paint her face and dance If she won't be a slave, we say that she doesn't love us If she's real, we say she's trying to be a man While putting her down we pretend that she's above us We make her bear and raise our children And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen We tell her home is the only place she should be Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend. Woman is the dirt of the world... yes she is If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with Woman is the slave to the slaves We insult her every day on TV And wonder why she has no guts or confidence When she's young, we kill her will to be free While telling her not to be so smart We put her down for being so dumb Woman is the dirt of the world Yes she is... If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with Woman is the slave to the slaves If there's a such thing as a Genius, then I'm one. If there's no such thing then I don't care... ~John Lennon |

I prefer to see a poem that says women are goddesses to be cherished and loved....as I do a poem about men being King's and treated as such.....I am not dirt of this earth.....nor is any other woman in my opinion..... |

Oooh...it's not blocked anymore. If you mean dirt as in like the lowest, then I don't agree. If you mean dirt as in women get treated as though they were nothing more than dirt, then I do agree. Granted, not every male in the world treats women badly but still every day there are many who do. Most of what you said in your poem is true. I really don't think he was trying to say that men are like kings, SEA...but rather that women are being mistreated everyday and it's not right. We insult her every day on TV And wonder why she has no guts or confidence When she's young, we kill her will to be free While telling her not to be so smart We put her down for being so dumb Of course I could be wrong though. Like I said...I think most if not everything you said is true. But it's also why women are so strong and will always be the most mysterious creatures on the planet. Haha... Anyway, great poem. I love your open and honest way of putting things. Keep it up! "...if you want love you must be love.." Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins Freedom comes when you learn to live unafraid.

Thats what I was saying. I'm not putting women down in any way. I think it's wrong the way most are treated. It sounds harsh, but it's upfront. Women are not Dirt. If there's a such thing as a Genius, then I'm one. If there's no such thing then I don't care... ~John Lennon |

it offended me.......and DE I meant that men should be treated like Kings...and not in a bad way  I treat my hubby like a king...and he treats me VERY well I was just saying that I would rather see a poem that doesn't say such negitive things like women are the dirt of the earth......that's all |

I wasn't offended. It speaks the truth on some parts... then again, it takes a while to offend me. i'll come back 2 months later and yell at you. |

Whoops, my bad.  I understand what you're saying, SEA. At first I thought you were going into a girl power trip. lol My apologies.  I think that it's easier to get a point across by taking the negatives and "throwing them in your face". I think that he made his point very clear. "...if you want love you must be love.." |

this is a good poem...a little contraversial, yes, but that's to be expected. I can look at this two ways. get offensive and say we are not the dirt of the earth, or read the message in it and get what you are trying to say. what I get from it, is you are in no way demeaning women. you say it as the world sees it. you say it as the world thinks it. all but us women of course . I totally understand what you meant. thanks for the read.I don't have an attitude problem You have a perception problem. |

Wow at first i was about to get a little crazy in replying, but i actually understand your message and i think you've succeeded in getting the reader's attention! The shock factor of this poem is really great and i hope it doesn't get blocked! Excellent work.

Ok Sea, I don't know your e-mail address and I'm too lazy to figure out how to get it. I just want one question answered. Thats all. Why are the two harmless poems closed? I write 2 others about killing a dog and running my father off, and you close the one about me apologizing for hurting a girl..... I'm confused? thats all.. thank you! If there's a such thing as a Genius, then I'm one. If there's no such thing then I don't care... ~John Lennon |

Didn't like pieces of the poem...oh well. Nice post though, well done in expressing yourself.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |
