Filthy House - By Caelum1infernum

caelum1infernum in Blockchain Poets • 4 months ago (edited)

You invited me to your home. 🏠
I was shocked ⚡
By how filthy the house is. 👎
How could you
Let children live in garbage? 🗑️

You're supposed to be a mother.
You're supposed to be a woman.
I almost forgot
You sell yourself at night 🌃

Under the guise of a wife.
Multiple marriages
Ended in divorces,
A trick you have practiced

For so many years
But kept failing ⤵️
Because the men found out
What you were doing to them.

Now you're home in your filthy house.
Cockroaches are everywhere. 🪳
You're old 🗝️ and weak.
What can you do now?

Your beauty fades.
You were never that beautiful to begin with. 🧹
You look like a witch now.
Now you understand

How hard life is when there is no man.
Now you regret 🚹
For torturing them,
Neglecting them.

They all live a better life
Thanks to you
For showing your true colors. 🎨
Now you may die in that filthy house.

I find this poem deeply problematic.

You reinforce traditional gender roles and stereotypes by criticising the woman based on society's expectations of cleanliness and domesticity, suggesting woman should be good housekeepers and mothers at all costs, and nothing else.

You are harsh and judgement, reflecting on her personal choices by shaming her because she doesn't mean standards of femininity and morality. Would you judge a man the same way?

You imply a moral judgement because of her sexual choices and multiple marriages. This scrutiny undermines her character and I am sure you would not judge a man in this way.

You also comment on her age - this is ageist and sexist and suggest her worth is tied to youth and beauty and without these she's less valuable.

You don't reflect on why she might be economically dependent on selling herself and you refelct a believe that a woman's worth is tied to her relationships rather than her individual capabilities.

It's a poem that blames the victim, as if she deserves her current state, failing to consider systemic factors.

I could go on. Even if it was well written, I would criticize and challenge the attitudes in this poem. Wpman's lives go beyond such reductive and judgemental stereotypes.

Hello, 👋 🤗 and thank you for taking the time to read my Poem. First of all, I want to clarify that the poem is not meant to offend—it simply reflects the reality of life as I see it. If you've read my previous poems and writings, you'll notice that I tend to judge myself even more harshly, particularly when I was a weaker man. I also tend to judge most men more harshly than women because I believe men should be the providers and protectors of women. However, in this day and age, these roles have often reversed for reasons beyond our control.

Being direct and straightforward is my style of writing. It has to be honest and straight to the point so that the message is perfectly clear, as I’m glad you understand 😊.

The reason I mentioned age is that despite growing older, her ways have never changed. She continues to try to manipulate the next man she meets, often pushing for marriage so that he will have to take care of all her children from different fathers. This is often achieved through manipulation and blackmail. I won’t go into too much detail, as it would take a while, but let's just say that when the man can't tolerate the physical and verbal abuse, he finds himself unable to leave due to the constant threat of blackmail.

As for "selling herself," I don’t mean that in a literal sense. She doesn’t have to sell herself because she is strong and capable of working to take care of her own kids. However, out of laziness, she often sends the kids to other family members to avoid taking care of them, which I’m sure you've seen in real life with both men and women.

Sometimes, people need to be held accountable for their own faults because many today would rather blame others than accept responsibility.

I hope you take the time to read my older poems where I judge myself harshly and describe how I rose from being lazy and useless to what I am today. Now, I am able to provide for my family and take care of myself, living a disciplined life. Life is a constant journey of self-discipline, striving to be the best version of ourselves, even if it's just by improving 1% each day.

Again thank you for reading. @riverflows I appreciate you for taking the time to comment, 😊 also whatever you said you are not wrong. Have a great day ahead would love to hear from you for my next poem 🤗
