21st Century Woman
The ocean reaches the tide
where it meets the sky.
No matter what the world comes to,
she will always be a woman.
She is delicate and beautiful
exactly how God intended.
she is everything
she uncovers the darkness within us.
Yet we hate and rape her
and mock her existence
with perverted, superficial replacements.
Her voice is silenced and her value diminished
just a look and she's gone.
Her soul rests upon the waves,
as she walks out to reach her fate
shes taken by the wind
where she is promised heaven.
How long will it take for her to be recognized?
because time waits for no one
and its already slipping away
all the faces of our women
torn and frayed.
