a shatter of silence

“A fight of voice exceeds one of fists.” Bludgeoned, broken, cast away, Time devours, your name decay, Ascend beyond the gilded throne, Unsung, unrested, still overthrown.
Happy Women's History Month!

I like this one. Women sometimes don't get the praise they deserve. Thanks for sharing. If for a contest, it reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Sara K

Thank you for your sweet words! While I don't believe the truth will ALWAYS rise, if I can bring the truth out, then I will do by all means to uplift it.

Women's History is definitely on the ascent, at least in America. Even those who are 'bludgeoned' and 'broken will have their day! ~ Gershon

Yep! I'm glad that we're beginning to realize important female historical figures, and are empowered and motivated by them. They'll not only have a day, but an entire month; though I'll be sure to celebrate them the entire year :) thanks for the comment!
