hoary bittercress/ Cardamine hirsuta Pictures, Images and Photos

~*~Labelism~*~

I am the creation of the higher up
Can't be the specimen of Virgin Mary
Can best be the seed of Aphrodite
Created to-
please,
Satisfy,
Submissive,
Lure,
Discrete
Strive and grow
(… Enough already)
~*~
If I choose to follow the path of Lady Godiva
To strengthen things-
Gain remission,
Rebuke oppression,
Acknowledge,
And to set up justice whereupon
(… Frankly, I find nothing wrong with that)
~*~
If I choose to follow my meanings in life
To voice concerns
for those in the dungeon,
Keep in silence with a leash
and blind folded with a gipsy veil
(… then, that's great!)
~*~
If I choose to be me!
I bow down to no fear , just dare
In spites of being a woman
I step on my imperfections
To flaunt my women-ism-
Socially involved
And, an...
(… Go on , don't crack down, please stop it, stop those tears of yours. You are stronger than that, go on, I'm listening)
~*~
<< Then why must I misconstrue in the plethora of the ist and ism characteristics?
Feminism,
lesbianism,
Envy-ism
Name calling by male chauvinist, sexist
who solely perceived Aphrodite's seeds as stupid and worthless.
Stand on the superiority scale
Throwing dragon fire if winning and controlling are not up to their vantages
(… But sweet pea, you sound very upset)
~*~
Unlike the Virgin Mother
I am a modern woman
I put on the red eyes
When I'm bit by snake's tongues
Cruel judgmental minds
I wear my trouser and boots to maintain my activities
I hard labor around the clock
For I sustain and cater to my family
I carry my banner up high to denounce malfeasance
Intimidation is aroused when imply the ist and ism cycle
The idea behind is to hibernate thoughts
Cripple and crush women's souls
In spites of all called names
I remain to be me
Whole and concrete
(… You said it all sweet pea, now rest your case!)
