Only A Fly
The poem ‘only a fly’ was written in the 21st century by a woman who felt trapped. In my Renaissance world, there are a lot of women who felt exactly the same way. Tell me about your life and how you feel about the world you live in.
Only A Fly
Is a woman but a fly
Put on earth by
Man’s hand to die
What Laws so weak
Does a society so strong
Allow to watch over the
Vessel of Life
The least protected
Species we have – the wife
In our fast forward
Peopleless world of
Communication by finger
Pressing alone
Where have our laws of mercy
Flown?
When young and old
Of feminine gender
Have less protection
Than your car’s
Fender
Arise all women
Weak and strong
Until our swell
Of indignation
Overtakes the entire nation
Beware batterers brutal!
Where has all the gentle caring gone
Along the electric highway
Its sign post light alas
Is out for none to see
