Question

The Modern Woman

Heal the sick and help the hurt
And fire the biggest gun.
Bring home all the money
And be satisfied with none.
Love yourself for who you are
And change, for mystery.
Yesterday collides with now
In what they want of me.

Can someone tell me the summary of it?

Answer 1

You are who you are right now. Be happy with that but more, strive to be dependent on nobody but yourself but be able to help others around you.

Answer 2

Thank you gianfranco.

Answer 3

Anyone else who'd like to try?

Answer 4

help everyone you can in each and every way possible. Always be happy with what you get and have, but never be satisfied with it. Love yourself as you need to love yourself first to spread your love to others. And as time goes by everything changes, as you change too . Don't disclose yourself to others, let others explore you. And the last line is not very clear to me but it means somewhat like, the needs of others from me are still unchanged.

Answer 5

mridul perhaps it could mean that people want of the 'past' me not seeing that I am changing.

Answer 6

you're probably right :)
