Woman
You sold your story for Man’s Glory
Your words your only strength
Your truth they condemned
Denied the right to fight
To speak about the ills
Regularly poured out upon
You
Since time began.
Woman you are Worthy
You deserve a moment to shine
To say what is on your mind
Tell the young
The old
The forgotten of the fold
Return to self
Put on the salve
The healing
Wholeness of Sisterhood.
Share with others
The Mother’s,
The Daughters,
The Grandma’s,
The Aunts,
The sisters,
The friends.
Each one part of Herstory
Each one seeking belonging
To womenkind
Hearts that Beat
Inspite of the Heat
The flames that seek to engulf
Each one’s Identity
Each one’s Belief
Each one’s Dream.
Woman
Though you Jaded
Your memory has not Faded
Yes your destiny once invaded
You must never be intimidated
Instead be dedicated
To rising elated
For you are sophisticated
Fabricated
For all that is Sacred
Life
Love
Longing
Unabated!
