Why do we treat the dawgs as if they are kings?
Then they turn and treat us as if we are nothing
When they come to us with their lies, we instantly believe
Then turn and cry shame when we realize that we’ve been deceived
We know that they are not single, but yet we didn’t see that we are worth more
So instead of sending him home, we settle in the game where he’s the only one who’ll score
On this field only the women gets hurt, it’s the men who always win the game
But on each other is where we always cast the blame
The one on the outside blames the one inside, and the one inside blames the one outside
Come on ladies I’m asking you, where on earth is our pride?
We always blame each other, but never yet blame the man
This is what I find hard to understand
What problems is he solving by creeping around in the dark with you?
What will he do if, he leaves her for you and problems come, tell me what you think he’s going to do
How and when will men be able to take us as women seriously?
If we are aiding their cowardice behavior, continuously
I’ve been both the mistress and a wife; yes I’ve been on both sides of the fence
And I’m saying ladies it’s time for us to stand up and make a desperately needed difference
If we don’t gain, claim and hold on to our self respect
Then the growth of broken hearted, men, women and children is what is there for us to expect
When we are the doers we think it’s fun, we don’t see the point in making a fuss
But when we’re on the opposite side of the table we’re ready to fight when it’s being done to us
How easy is it for a man to get a woman in bed nowadays
All he needs are the right words, and they are gone on their merry ways
Yes all he has to do is talk right, whisper to her what she wants to hear
And he has his way with her and neither looks back without a care
Cheating is a thing that has been going on for ages
And the standards to which it is done these days are plummeting in its stages
In these days more times it’s the women who are aggressive
So morality is depleting and immorality is undeniably progressive
Cheating has never and will never do anything but cause pain
Just listen to anyone who’s in a relationship, and hear them complain
@H-mac:
ebeh, so H-mac you should edify us with something more worthy then? I take it that you are De Poetic Pro??
Don’t you worry Men are very week, when they think they hurt a woman believe me they are only hurtung themselves because when they reach at the other end the woman they left you for is having an affair behind their back, and to their friends they are a bag of jokes.
beautiful poem ………….and one thing we should learn for sure from this is that we should not do to others what we would not like to be done to us. shame on those who destroy family for their own selfish gain and the men who encourage it the same to u and more for being selfish and inconsiderate of the family u once built
This poem is not about Ladies in general. It is about women, who play the game of relationship with men.
The Poet writes: “I have been both, the mistress and the wife”. This is to say that she was once the woman on the outside, causing the pain to the woman on the inside. Then the situation changed around. “What goes around comes around”, that is what they say.
So what have I to do with this? I was never a mistress neither a wife; but I have had a man in my Life. I had what it takes to boss him around if I wanted to, but it would also be my fault if he had bossed me around. The bossing around thing never happened in our relationship. But he had other women in his life.
When I was young and foolish, I stayed with him, continuing to keep myself for him alone. Yes, it hurt to know that when he wasn’t with me, he was, or could be with someone else. But it was my choice to stay home by myself, as I found no pleasure to rebel against him by going out with other men.
I finally grew up and became wise. My realization was that he was a person and his life was his own, not mine. Even if we were married, I had no right to cause him to live like a robot for me, much more so that he was not married to me or to no one for that matter. Why not allow him the freedom and choice of the space of his life? After all, I wanted that freedom and choice of space in my own life as well. As a song once said: “Everybody wants to be free, nobody wants to be alone.” That is the toughest challenge of man/woman relationship.
Today he is married, but not to me. And I am thankful to God, that He opened my eyes, my mind, and my conscience. Today I know that the freedom and choice that I wanted in my Life was not occupied by the responsibilities to a husband or a man-friend (sex partner). Because of that freedom, I had no trouble choosing to allow God to take hold of me.
And now, I cannot explain the joy and peace that I have in Life: To feel free, single, and disengaged from the natural man, but surrendered to the Life-giving-Spirit, the Person of God, who is the Man, Jesus Christ. For Jesus is the only Man who has ever “touched me and made me whole”. Yes, “something happened and now I know; He touched me and He made me whole.”
I have no reason to ask why, of the attitude and conducts of men and our relationship of past years. For to me the lust, the sensually, the passion, of the relationship with a man in my life was a senseless function, which has eventually passed away.
most men dont think they man if they dont break a woman heart..and some of us women just sit there and accept it.
Considering this realistically, human nature is weak. Men are not always to be blamed and women are not always to be blamed. It also takes two. There should be no telling of lies involved. Honesty should prevail.
Men are tempters and women are temptresses, whether they are conscious of it or not.
Whether women have had such experience, they have heard and read of those heartbreaking stories.
When some people as some men want their way, will they not tell lies to achieve their objective?
Some men have led women on by their roaming eyes and chronic lies. Some of them are deceivers of every sort.
It is not always “Run Samson run Delilah’s on her way.”
I do think that women are more sincere than most men and less liable to approach a man whom they especially know is married.
As long as there are men and women and those who are also dissatisfied with their relationship, this situation will continue.
We must never forget who the greatest tempter of all is who leads people into temptation, the cunning one that is at large until the end of time.
It takes people with a godly strong spirit not to fall into this temptation which, in most cases, could have dire consequences.
Only God can put a hand in this one by constantly praying to Him and never ceasing to beg Him for his divine assistance, his blessing and graces to endure temptations of every kind and not succumb to them.
@Anonymous: Its not ment to be anything negative, and I’m not speaking for all men. I just think men are portayed in a light that is demonising and women are innocent lambs being lead to the slaughter.This is just not true. worse of all in Dominica? I think women are to strong and independent for that. Atleast the ones I associate with,but I digress. I do however Concur with the general thyme of the poem.These are the inconsistencies. But Hey, if thats what way the writer feels about the situation…do your thing,go crazy.
Truth be told. Alot to ponder on. You are indeed a living example, no wonder you are so precise. Please take heed all.
i have been on both side al side and it very painful out there people are just not honest and there is a sayin two can play the game but what about pride,the best thing now is stay single am enjoyin mine for 4 years now and my tears dry.am not in the game so no more pain
@H-mac: Exactly what is untrue and biased about the poem? Seems like you’re speaking from experience so please lay it out for us.
ummmmmm….lol cute lil poem…not entire factual and its a tad bias but its was a good try.If this is something you wanna do,you do need to sharpen and polish your craft,as an amature it OK but if you want to roll with the big “Dogs” its not so hot…
I absolutely love this one. I hope the ladies reading this will take heed as I have done. No matter on which side you are you get hurt.
SO TRU!
