We Are Nasty Women

We are Nasty Women When we hear haughtiness, we name it When we see bullying, we blame it We are Nasty Women We do not daintily defer For selfish whims of a saboteur We will not walk three steps behind We will not sheathe our sharpened minds We are logic's clear eloquence We are unyielding consequence We are Nasty Women We are out of many, one We are the soldiers of every war We are astronauts and commodores We are the activists of plundered Earth We are the executives who expect our worth We are the advocates of facts, unsuppressed As we walk the corridors of Congress And we are far from done. 6/06/19 Poem of the Day June 8th, 2019
