Free Verse
She's Got Balls
Oh Yeah
She’s got balls
Watch her
She’ll work it out
And you envy or
Resent her strength
Or you ignore
Her request for help
Tomboy
Macho woman
Did it ever occur to you
That she handled it
By herself
Because she learned
Early on that
No one was there
When she said
I need help
The roof leaks
There is need
Of a screen door
The waterline broke
She found the break
She built the screen door
She patched the roof
And you, manly man
And girly girl
Put her down
And ignored
Her request for help
“she wasn’t a Lady”
She had to be strong
She survives
Motherless child
and a Mom
