A Statement
When I was young,
my Aunt burned her braw.
She fought for rights,
for me, and my daughter(s),
that I had no idea,
I did not have.
Voting,
equal pay,
the chance to say,
what is important.
A woman's view,
to add a lighter touch,
to partisan screams.
Sadly only human,
not always right,
not always wrong.
Graceful dedication,
to the truth about our land.
We the people,
together we stand.
The right to vote,
and make a difference,
important to one and all.
Citizens that feel the same,
about freedom,
and the lack of it.
