God is a Woman

By Mehana Agnihotri

Matters it not

That her hand wields 

A sword or a broom

Matters it not

That her hair is 

Scattered wild in the wind

Or pinned and neatly groomed

Never forget that

God is a woman and

If she gave you life 

She can take it too

Mistake not her

Calm for submission 

Nor her quiet for fear

Make the mistake 

Of looking at her 

The wrong way

Your end shall be near

Never forget that 

God is a woman and

If she can know charm 

She can also know no fear

She is strength 

She is power 

Her anger makes

Her enemies cower

Wars have been fought for her

And battles have been won by her

For God has

Always been a woman 

Phenomenal, beautiful, wonderful

A warrior, a saviour, a caregiver 

And never forget 

You are too
