an ode to The Woman

as Bono says, it’s easier to work with friends than fight your enemies. with that in mind, I want to offer a gush of praises for The Woman…instead of railing against The Man. he doesn’t deserve our time.

I praise God for gifted women who lead with courage…and it takes courage to live as a gifted woman.

I praise God for nurturing women who raise children in the fear of the Lord.

I praise God for righteous women who burn with anger over injustice.

I praise God for women who put up with The Man…

…and I don’t mean “men,” but The Man. The System. The Machine. too often, men mirror The Man, and for that, my beloved sisters, I beg your forgiveness.
