Wars have always been about expansion, Glorifying the ‘self’, stealing resources, Empowering through the subjugation Of the ‘other’ by binary opposition that courses Through blood, and ‘elevates’ their superiority to deity.
From the Silk Road, to the Spice Road, To the Swez Canal, White Sea, Ben Gurion, All show the need for exclusivity for the broad Perception of ‘Civilizing’. What a crock gone Down the clock into eternal sleep. Happy.
For each critical endeavor, conquest, Women rally the people, organize, Fight, rebel, strive to keep morale, at best, Alive within the hearts of people to strategize Survival and the compulsion to resist oppression.
As the flowers bloom, so does the woman’s Need to resist being lumped in a category That she knows she doesn’t belongs To, but rather asserts her judicial equality In a society that’s still a patriarchy.

Her hazel eyes look into the mirror, What she sees is a wonder. In the reflection, ‘La Vie en Rose’ Covered with a pinkish screen as she pose.
She lifts her hand, extends her index, Grazes across the glittery surface, that’s a fox, Wily and intent on showing her only Beauty, utopia, family, and community,
Trying haughtily to impose a vision Of fidelity, that’s as wrotten a passion As Eve’s apple; who thought it would Impower her with Knowledge, Immortality
When, in reality, it highlighted her Faults and sexuality through a picture Of nudity and immorality. Her curiosity, pride were her downfall from all heavenly.
The gorgeous woman’s gaze turned Inward, subconscious awareness aged With centuries of data, she becomes Cognizant of the struggles of generations
That tried not to give her her power. The power of a woman that’ll never Let pride, shame, sex be the means used For her destruction that stays unpardoned.
She’s swiftly swung into a new Path, where women are revered, as few Are, for their strengths, nurturer, Culture, and self-awareness that is a propeller
Into an age of her distinction, acceptance, Integration, and sociopolitical presence. A long journey whence she grew Out of a subjugation in a pew.

Her freedom, imposed by GOD, Is taken away by men of power Who fear her rejuvenating strength that plod Without thought to health or happiness, yet a teacher Of infinite power that blends, supports, those weaker.

With one hand, they give out arms To propagate war, a war that divides Brothers, using the old, well proven Adage of ‘Divide and Conquer’, unbidden
The conqueror strives to reduce The power of the people through the curse Of avarice and the need to wield Dominion over others in an open field
Where, when the warring parties Are busy murdering each other, their advocators Pillage Africa, South Asia and America, all resources Are tied up under their rule, while others dies:
Their wealth increases exponentially, Their lies and division become award worthy, For they manipulate facts to their advantage, cruelty Being their aim for it’s their weapon that’s entirely
Too effective in keeping people in line When they wish only for freedom, not grime, Using resources to empower the country Not the conqueror, manipulator, who’ll destroy
Without conscience, compassion, Humanity, for the longer they play the game The greater the death toll, division That increases the gap that need a bridge and time
To overcome the differences instilled By an aggressor whose purpose is power.

Woman Defined
Courage thy name is Woman! You’ve shown us your resilience In the face of adversity that can Drive strong men to their knees in case Their worries overwhelm their ferocity, Which is tempered by Her steadfastness And confidence in Her ability To nurture, when needed, cutting honesty That’s never ending in its compassion.
Her armor, mask is that of love. Her empathy lifts Her up. Her education is Her weapon, a dove, White, for its peaceful cup. She’s endured degradation, oppression, Slavery and desperation beyond Caution, She moves into dominion With Her tolerance that’s Her bond.
Bond of her heart that instigates The need for freedoms.

What is one thing you would change about yourself?
It feels like the world spins and flows like a river, unstoppable, and when it seems as though you don’t have enough time for everyone you love. As a nurturer and introvert, I bottle up my worries as I try, unsuccessfully, to take care of everyone’s needs before my own. The time, I would like to have is so that I can take care of myself better. That way, I can give more.
Sometimes, the world around you feels so oppressive that it stumps your ability to navigate a world that supports murder, death, and genocide of those weaker. That feeling carries into your home, blocking your capacity to be there for your family, as it drowns you, constantly, in visions of charred bodies, women, children, elderly, even infants in incubators die. How can I reconcile my compassionate nature with what I’m being asked to bear witness to?
How can I perform within my family when I’m bombarded by such visions of violent, thoughtless aggression against the innocent? Why is it that I have to witness peoples’ lack of humanity as they watch and do nothing?
Reading by me, Malak kalmoni Chehab, of the poem ‘Subjugation’, from my poetry book, Perfectly Flawed. It’s about postcolonialism and its effects after independence. http://www.malakkcwriting.com
