She should not be judged
by the cut of her dress,
the width of her hips,
or the size of her breasts.
If a man is judged
on what he's achieved,
then by all means,
so should she.
She can fill any station,
from building a car,
to leading a nation.
But she is painted,
weighed and measured,
misinformed to why
she is treasured.
Her mind and soul
are not to be bought,
because like you
she is a creature of thought.
Wise and wonderful,
she is both answer
and question,
more than just a body,
an object,
or a possession.
