Bird of Paradise Repressed

 In nature's avian kingdom it is males

whose colourful plumage is on display

to attract the opposite of its species.

Nature devised a different strategy for

humans gifting the female of the species

with physical characteristics deemed of

great allure and beauty whose purpose is

to gain admiration from the male human.

In the process of designing human emotions

some were slipped in adverse to comfort

to women's overweening pride in their

gifts when males claiming property

rights instruct women to conceal their 

pride of ownership revealing them to none

but themselves. This ancient humiliation

of womankind is so deeply engrained in

tribal societies intertwined with religious

convictions women are instructed it is none

but god's will they be demure and modest

obeying injunctions demeaning to their

sovereign human rights, but little does that

matter since within those cultures it is clear

and constant they have no rights, after all.
