Poem
Curtal Sonnet Sequence A woman should be gentle, always kind Yet he held her down to rape her again Removing the smile that once seemed to glow The joy of love had long since left behind A fragile doll that knew only of pain Who couldn’t see a way or place to go At his hands her body crumbled to dust; Inside her voice was calling, soft and low It kept her mind from going past insane And she knew she could and she knew she must Say No! They say the battle is won; we can rest The girls of tomorrow have greater clout They’ll live their lives in freedom’s liberty. We can do no more, we have done our best The flags of pride have been slowly rolled out So they can love with true equality. But while one woman remains hurt, abused We must all remain strong not turnabout No woman should be left to man’s slav’ry We must not let her be tortured and used Shout out! Inside a woman beats a goddess heart A hidden voice that often calls aloud But we only hear her when we need her most And she holds us when our lives fall apart Or if we choose to walk against the crowd The presence we feel when all else is lost. And as we nurture our own children through To fly as freely as a summer cloud She nurtures us the same at greater cost So in all we say and all things we do Be proud!
