Fairy tales are all man made.
Women wouldn’t write stories
portraying themselves as such
shallow, vain, fragile roses.
If a woman was to write
such tale about her rescue,
she would have her own weapons.
No swords, spears or javelins,
but she would use her own brains
instead of phallic objects.
She would talk the wicked witch
out of her evil plans,
she’d tell her that the real foes
in this man made society
are the males who seek power
and tell women to be small.
She’d join forces with the witch
get the dragon onboard too,
ask Prince Charming where he stands
on such feminist issues.
True to the chivalry code
the knight would have offered to
put his sword to their service
and speak up for women too.
That would save a lot of grief
to many generations
of women raised to believe
they need a man to save them,
to be able to function.
Morality: most women
can write their own story books
where they are the heroine
and make their own handmade tale.
I took this picture nearly a year ago. I find it goes well with this poem.
Let me know what you think in the comments :)
