ODE TO WOMEN

RES DIGITAL VERSION CHRYSSA VELISSARIOU 2014

O' Woman the source of passion!

Woman the end and the start of men' world!

Mighty woman!

I've been always surprised

by how they treat you

Men are so terrified by your presence!

So many of them are able to tame you

only by suppressing you

by accusing you

only by persuading you

teaching you, treating you

growing you up like a REM

They dress you in black robes, burqas and veils

from head to toe

They say your beauty is a sin

They teach you to believe 

it is bad for you to feel and to want

or even to wish for yourself

If they could, under all these cloths

behind all these screens, 

they put to hide you,

they would have engraved in indelible letters 

on your womb the word "RES"

You are to be owned, you are to be considered

as their THING : their treasure or their pawn

they can not withstand the challenge 

to keep you conquered with love and affection

they fear to lose you

so they find it easier to put your personality in chains

How dastardly, how pathetic, how cowardly, how despicable

to deprive you often even from your right to pleasure

to destroy even the organs and the orgasm which nature offered you

as a present to still carry on, to still support the perpetuation, 

the nurturing and the well being of the human race 

through your pains and struggles and though your own body

What exactly names men women'absolute rulers?

Are MEN in charge to lead humanity into eternity?

Just think of a world without WOMBMEN. THINK!!!

I'm so MAD with what I see to happen against my gender

all around the world, I am so shocked!

I think that women'affection, love and generosity

women'devotion and faith, and finally women emotions

are the reasons men continue to be born and live

If wombmen were just men they would have eliminated

their dangerous lovers just after their fertilization

Just like the female praying mantis cannibalizes

the head of her sexual partner upon mating...

P.S. I love a lot men when they respect me just like I respect them!

"Res" ( accusative "rem") means "thing" in latin.
