just the way we are
everybody’s made of love and little bits of stars
everybody’s beautiful
everybody shines
everybody’s somebody shining all the time.
EVERYBODY!

Really grooved on the stick stones, moans groans, combat zones verse — like a song, Belinda.

I am amazed.. :) Gender Equality is a humorous term. Humor this- none of the Official/Government form has a column for Mother's name! This is after Supreme Court has judgements that Mother is also a Natural Guardian of a child! So much so for the law. The woman who slogs her life till death because the husband abandons the family gets to be known nowhere. The only daughter who is still slogging out to survive at the age of 33 has to write her damned father's name because that's how the SYSTEM is!! I wish the things change SOON! This is so very well written!!

I don't all the fancy words about poetry, but I can say this poem is a powerful read, but it's also fun. I really loved these words, "bartering with beautiful brain, brainy beauty through boardroom deals or backroom brawls." Betcha can't say that fast ten times:~) What's wonderful about your poetry is that it's so much more than the words I read; the message just glows out at me, like a jewel that becomes bright as your words cast their light on it. The "fight for our equal half" goes on, but at my age, I see the progress we've made. I know there's still much to do, but barriers drop every day. Now, if we can only reach out to the women who are still trapped and use our well-earned power to lift them up. I'm still waiting to hear about the women I am sponsoring. I absolutely loved this idea. Thanks:~) Belinda — This one stopped me in my tracks after reading it.

The fight never seems to end...but like woman, it endures and progresses and refuses to give up.
