[hometext] => This is a poem that I had to write for an English class, but I liked it a lot.
[bodytext] => The Woman’s point of view: They tell us we’ve no right to speak They tell us we’re too slow and weak We have no rights Our Future’s bleak We’re doomed to live controlled and meek. In the home and nothing more We work all day until we’re sore Our backs are aching And what for? Saying naught, we scrub the floor. No job, no strife Condemned for life That’s what it takes to be a wife. 000 The Man’s point of view: They act as if we’re dooming them They act as if their lives are done They keep on working Saying none But we can tell they think they’re shunned. A woman’s place is in the house To cook and clean-as for her spouse He works until the day is done We do not grouse We keep as silent as a mouse. No work, no pay We plow away Earning supper for the day.
