Woman - Too Long
Woman,
you have kept your head down too long.
Mother.
Teacher.
Leader of song.
Woman,
you are a fighter of truth.
Daughter.
Lover.
Follower of Ruth.
Woman,
don't let words of others say you are mistaken this time.
Hero.
Philosopher.
Whom the bell tolls for louder than a chime.
Woman,
you have spoken; keep on sayin until they have heard.
Powerful.
Soaring.
Like a wolf, become a hunter, we were never a timid bird.
Woman,
we stand in the mist of a deep smog.
Giver.
Protector.
Be a knight, head up high, in this era of rusty cogs.
