Women of Extinction

We were more popular When you felt lazy, More important when We cooked you potatoes and gravy... To please our boys and men We would go to any length, Even begged for mercy Were pillars of strength... We are the glue to glass houses Being abused by the hour by the day, Even ignored or unheard of by many But we will continue to love come what may... Negatively spoken of around the world And frequently pacified by our nation, But the torch GOD placed in our hearts Is not a symbol of accusation more of edification... Tear us down kick us to the ground But we will always strive for equality, We are free women accepting nothing less Our guardian angels fill us with spirituality... We are women born to cease dissention We are women not women of extinction
