CONQUERING THE BLIND SCALES OF PATRIARCHY

Crystal cold are the pupils of some men
staring red to jailed porcelain dolls skin
dowered for the title of chastity,
your curves, your swell, they treated like machines.
You can be the light midst darkness, woman

yet why they see your body as gold mines,
your face displays no favor from their sight. 
Fruits of labor you bring harvest nothing
your virginal flesh dead ere blossoming
suspended by sharp claws of ignorance?

Aged with grief but rising from conquered fears,
woman today shake white-walled home of kings
to trumpet-loud the darkness in her feet...
Wounded is her heart but still she will stand,
her message free flying high without wings

She will fight even with the threats of death
balancing blind scales of patriarchy,
Fears foregone, her bravery stifling pain, 
peace and justice, equality to all
the rights for women her ever after toil!
