Roots

 The Sunday Muse


                                                            "Roots" 1943 by Frida Kahlo



      Why should  she bend to

       preconceived

       rules?

In the whimsical world 

She knows, 

She is considered a weakling

To command, to dominate

But, don't forget,

Woman she is

She carries the universe in her womb

Nobody has right to take her for granted

 She makes her own rules and breathes them

To survive in the broken and biased world.

  11. It takes two to get the world populated. I can't figure out when the men became supreme. Now they don't want to give that status up.
