Powerful Woman !

You were conceived for nine months,

Fed by these hands.

We deserved a bigger title.

But you shipped us off to the kitchen.

To you, we wouldn’t be bigger than these pans.

 

You said our role was to receive less.

And do more. ( Hmm)

We take care of your needs, the house, and the kids.

And we ask for a little respect, and you roar?

 

We’re so eclipsed.

Hidden from the big picture.

Yes, the man. The man is the head.

But where’s the neck to fit you?

 

It takes a lot to be a woman.

We seek jobs, but employers

Always want to thrust us

Before they can trust us,

We are only valued for our bodies.

This is the kind of pain that cuts us.

 

We deserve accolades.

We deserve better.

We’ve been sidelined for too long.

We’re beginning to forget our superiority.

 

Strong Ghanaian women like

Gifty Anti and Lordina Mahama,

have shown us we can be worth more.

We can be handy to blaze the torch.

In that manner,.

 

Other names, like Naadu Mills and

Nana Konadu Rawlings,

Show women as a driving force in society.

Thus, allow us to discover our calling.

 

We’ve long been deprived of progress and sanity.

Hence, we’re taking charge!!

Leaving our marks in the books of humanity.

We are strong!

We are beautiful!

We are powerful women!
