Oh Beautiful Woman

Oh beautiful woman that God made
Stop hiding behind the mask that satan gave
Gave you in order to confuse your worth
To take away the angel that people saw at your birth
Why hate to be more
Why not be an eagle and soar
Be as beautiful as you are behind that mudge
Let your mind open like two arms giving a hug
Stop living in the past and start living in day
God let you see another sunrise so appreciate His mercy
and walk a new way
A way of confidence then thing look unstable
A way of abundance when there's nothing on the table
A way of prayer and patience
A way of perseverance when things don't make sense
Oh beautiful woman that God made
Please stop hiding behind the mask that satan gave

i have the same siggestion. i might not have understood the poem according to your point. one scholar says understanding the poem fully does not make it entertaining. though what i understood was remarkable. Gave you in order to confuse your worth. wow, it is superb! even if He is God, he did satanlike deed by giving the mask. you are a serious parond in this poem.she belongs to angelhood. and she has to wake up to a new sun. there is a light for her. the sun rises for her, too to while away the darkness that baffles her wits! good job! you are a great peot! sandesh

I reread my poem and understand your point of view. But this poem is not talking about women in general but it came to me while I was in a group and a lady that I later became friends with was so bitter and I decided to write that poem for her because the words just start coming out. I strongly believe in a God and devil so the mask that satan gave is to me... hurt, anger, and just believing that oneself is worthless because of low self esteem and so on. I have wore that mask plenty of times in my life and found relief only after taking it off. I appreciate every comment! Thank You

I don't believe in gods or devils. I'm not superstitious. I don't think a man god made women, so this poem does nothing for me.
I think women are equal in every way, and in some ways - more so. Before the Romans dream't up the Literalist Christian religion, women were the ones who mostly ran things.
They were the empaths and the healers.
In my country, the UK, we venerated and celebrated women - they were the ones who cared to manage things. The Literalists killed them in their thousands.
Oh beautiful Women was a great title and that much we have in common here.
