Empowomen

Empowomen: Written Originally by Jennifer Soh Li Wen, 16^th November 2012, Friday (T.G.I.F.!), 12:35 a.m.-2:01 a.m., Laying on the Bed of the Room Numbered 319, Block H06, Desasiswa Bakti Permai, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Penang, Malaysia.

So much have said,

So much have done;

So much have laid,

So much to none.

Material being,

Human being;

Patronizing,

Romancizing.

Fluid off the body,

24 hours of validity;

It’s time to pick up the laundry,

Recognizing identity.

It was a good duration,

For affection;

Longer than the previous,

Except that those were oblivious.

No more monkey,

No more puppy;

From reality to sorry,

From fantasy to gravity.

Thanking but lacking,

Loving but suffering;

Joy but temporary,

Together but solitary.

5 out of 10,

Never a perfect 10;

A woman without a man,

A rooster without a hen.

Pick up the pan,

Get some tan;

Drive the van,

Rise as you can,

It’s not the speed you ran,

It’s how not to pretend;

A good helping hand you lend,

Let all go as you’ve clicked “Send”.

Hope not for return,

Ashes fly after a burn;

Lessons you learn,

Save what you earn.

Motionless on bed,

As if I’m dead;

No blood so red,

Oxygen from heart to head.

Women,

Of breasts;

Uterus,

And vagina,

Men,

Of chests;

Phallus,

And retina.

Dear Adam and Eve,

When did you leave?

Was your love easy?

Do you need lingerie sexy and lacy?

Dearest God,

I’ve no interest in iPod;

Forgive me for my rod,

Forgive me for my nod.

Recovery never came once,

Upon midnight I can already dance;

Living again freelance,

Feeding self with needs and wants.

Will my dream come true?

Is writing rude?

Sketches I drew,

Still raw to brew.

Dearest you,

I want to thank you;

Chosen as your beau,

Though so new.

Culture and religion,

Structure and vision;

Similarities in differences,

Causes in consequences.

Mixed relationship,

Friendship and courtship;

Still in humanity,

Honesty and integrity.

Past memories,

Candies and liquories;

Drama series,

Dark chocolates and strawberries.

Enough already,

Stand up steady;

Never be greedy,

Manage your own needy.

Live healthy and happy,

Stop facing lappy;

Find another story,

Unnecessary a deary.

Ready your garment,

For empowomen;

For the betterment,

Honey goes well with lemon.

I shall continue my journey,

From city to city;

Believing identity,

Till I find my anemoney.

It’s late and it’s a good day,

Empowerhythm will keep me awake;

Fear not and go your way,

Not for anyone but your own sake.

Remember self-respect,

Know how to act;

Improve what you lack,

I’ll say no more and hit the sack.

Gentle warning:

Beware of self-made vocabularies, grammaries, & spellings. The title has spoken well, hasn’t it?
