“Women in Power (The Sonnet)
Women in power is power used best,
Men in power means power makes a mess.
For the world to become gender-neutral,
First it's gotta become matriarchal.
Thereafter gender will bear no significance,
Only the capable shall dawn the pedestal.
In patriarchy war and tyranny are the norm,
While peace and equality are exception.
In matriarchy synergy is the norm,
While shallowness is the exception.
Before the world is equalized,
first it's gotta be dehypnotized.
And no world is ever dehypnotized till
the paradigm is mended by the marginalized .”

“Women do not write books about men—a fact that I could not help welcoming with relief, for if I had first to read all that men have written about women, then all that women have written about men, the aloe that flowers once in a hundred years would flower twice before I could set pen to paper.”
