In Retrospect
My mother told me, as a child, how diverse a woman had to be.
She stated from this diversity solidarity could be found.
Woman, as a leader, confronts the world in a liberated form.
She is to say what is necessary and carry on.
If there seems to be no forum, one must develop for her in a man
political arena.
My mother did show what occurred during her youth.
Formation is of a new school.
This thought gleams and is The School of Social Theology.
Today's woman shines.
She is in every facet of life.
Her statue stands strong with strings of living being in her loving smiles
and unwanted frowns.
If she fatigues, she rest easily and tomorrow she advocates just as hard
knowing she must get the job done.
I am the woman I speak of and I know many like me.
A new generation with no dream denied, activism we define.
To take this any further would state that a fight against Social Injustice is
a fight for Social Justice!
