[hometext] => Whether we like it or not, whether we are brave enough to admit it or not, whether we are well aware of it or not, our world is still dominated by men!
[bodytext] => You can find her in the street,
Or on stage to entertain, Or at home sitting at your feet. It’s easy to wash her brain! Because she’s a marionette! She moves at the point of your fingertips, Seductive or romantic, depends on the trend, Curvy, skinny, blond, or with silicon lips, She is in your hands, easy to mold and bend. She’s a marionette! But she must not only be made to please, To be fair, she must also be allowed to lead. Just offer her a few important roles and degrees, Make her feel that it is possible to succeed, Even though she’s a marionette! And when she’s about to take control, Create a perplexing issue for the feminist tools; Who can take the absent mother’s role?! Make her feel guilty and incomplete to set the rules. She can never rule ‘cause she’s a marionette! Thrown in an ocean of wild contradictions; “Be naked but virtuous and respectable, Be free but hold on to the roots and traditions, Be strong but sweet and delectable”, Poor drowned marionette! Lost on her way searching for Superman, Trying to be a beloved Barbie. Entrapped in the dark world of Batman, Making a fruitless attempt to be, Yet she’s never going to be… but a marionette! Perished on her way to attain fake promises Of eternal glory, youth, and beauty, Enslaved on her way to seek illusive promises Of justice, freedom, and equality, Resorting to the so-called saviors of the marionette! Give her, let her, prevent her, deceive her, You’re the giver; you’re the taker, Control her, convince her, seduce her; But never let her be the decision maker, ‘Cause she’s only a marionette! Listen to her, enjoy her, pretend to learn from her Make her feel that she has power over you, Play with her, smash her, fix her or throw her, After all, no body will put the blame on you For breaking a frivolous marionette! Poor marionette, cluttering and stumbling, Can’t deicide whether to be blond or brunette. Poor marionette, stuttering and jumbling, Can’t get rid of the disgrace of being a marionette. Poor marionette!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
