You take pride in
boasting about
you are a HOME MAKER
ask yourself
are you also
the DECISION MAKER
within the four walls of
your home
are you even a consultant ,
a participant in the process of
decision making
I am no crusader
just a fellow traveller
on this earth
who is asking you
an uncomfortable question
you are not bound to answer
but I seek your indulgence
please question yourself
more often
who are you
what is your purpose
on this earth
because you are
a soul
not just
a BODY
not merely
a Home Maker
there is more
to your story.
make it worth telling
choice is all yours
you have to choose
between being a door mat
or a self respecting being
make your choice
all of us are home maker first
but we need to be
decision makers as well.
A pithy poetic foray into the polemical.
A poem seeking rightfully the “space” for women.
thanks Louis. your thought adds a new dimension to mine.
