Women - a poem for gender equality

We women are like a seed,

We are stronger than we seem

Women do not have the best chances of winning

while the men see their sad faces grinning.

Women may be small

but together they can do it all.

My mom once said, "Men and women are human,

They are from the same species;

They drink from the same fountain and play with ease".

Men say," We are weak;"

They are wrong, we are strong at the very peak;

Let's learn to respect each other, boys and girls

because we are more than pearls.
