Empowomen: Written
Originally by Jennifer Soh Li Wen, 16th 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?
