International Women’s Day

How can we not see

that ‘superiority’ is a false assumption?

How can we not see

that ‘masculinity’ dominating

‘femininity’ is just a presumption?

Why do some see societies

with advanced Technologies

as more evolved and enlightened?

Why do some see societies

more in harmony with Nature

assigned labels of ‘inferiority’?

Will Humanity ever see itself as one-

neither males nor females superior,

neither females nor males inferior?

The Life, the Soul, within all

is without Gender at all.

Human societies are simply different-

different expressions of Life, that’s all,

some even a mix of cultures

enriching Human Experience, all.

I celebrate Life Itself in all-

the wonders of Life in all.
