MY WOMAN IS ALL
My woman is all the women of my earth!
My woman is the most wonderful flower
That ever took birth
An’ my woman is so soft to touch an’ hold –
I want to cover her from head to foot in gold!
An’ my woman is always young!
An’ my woman is the sweetest song
That’s ever been sung!
An’ my woman knows everything about love
‘Cause my woman is made by the One above!
Why then is she always crying after each war?
Why are her sons always dying in each war?
Why is she perpetually hurt, an’ beaten,
An’ raped an’ tortured an’ bleeding?
An’ the scars are there for all to see!
An’ the scars are there for you an’ me!
An’ the ugliness makes us turn away
An’ we see such travesty an’ say –
She’s our mother an’ we make her cry!
She’s our daughter an’ we ask her why!
She’s our sister so we let her suffer!
She’s a wife an’ so we bluff her!
My woman is all the women of my earth!
My woman is the most wonderful flower
That ever took birth
An’ my woman is so soft to touch an’ hold-
I want to cover her from head to foot in gold!
An’ my woman is always young!
An’ my woman is the sweetest song
That’s ever been sung!
An’ my woman knows everything about love
‘Cause my woman is made by the One above!
Poem by Raja Changez Sultan
This series pays homage to the universal woman. Raja Changez Sultan displays unique sensitivity in both form and color to showcase his reverence for the strength, patience and understanding women show in every role that has been thrust upon them in a harsh and insensitive world. They are the true faces of Eve in all her glory.
