Champion of Woman's Rights

Woman,

She lassos her tongue around minds
creating space in these harden times
she licks at the wounds 
she culls up the glass
a virescent glow that forever will last

She holds off the pain
with a sacred of verse
charged up to the plus
we shall all come immersed

Soapbox, chair, on front porch swings
talking of peace and inequalities
journeys and strength
barefoot she bleeds
not caring for her but others in need

A warrior for rights
a woman of might
hard to the core
but soft as moonlight

Truth emits from her lips
listen up as she pleads
not gone she is here 
girl, woman, she, freed

Lady Labyrinth Date: 2/19/2020 12:44:00 PM "In the future, there will be no female leaders. There will just be leaders." Lady Labyrinth Date: 2/19/2020 12:43:00 PM "To all the little girls who are watching this, never doubt that you are valuable and powerful, and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your own dreams." Lady Labyrinth Date: 2/19/2020 12:40:00 PM "I feel now that the time is come when even a woman or a child who can speak a word for freedom and humanity is bound to speak." Harriet Beecher Stowe Lady Labyrinth Date: 2/19/2020 12:38:00 PM "I have sometimes thought that a woman's nature is like a great house full of rooms: there is the hall, through which everyone passes in going in and out; the drawingroom, where one receives formal visits; the sitting-room, where the members of the family come and go as they list; but beyond that, far beyond, are other rooms, the handles of whose doors perhaps are never turned; no one knows the way to them, no one knows whither they lead; and in the innermost room, the holy of holies, the soul sits alone and waits for a footstep that never comes." Edith Wharton
