I Am a Woman

I am a woman…

I am a woman 
Part of a powerful clan
Now is the time we must take a stand

Our rights are being taken
Our books are being banned
They want to erase us, it’s all very planned

The positions of politicians  
With large egos and ambitions
 Is the cause of these oppositions
What are we to do?

I won’t be remembered as a 
women who kept quiet
My voice is as big as my size
Quite large as I don’t diet
Some hear me screaming and think it’s a riot

Just know I accept you
You have my respect
Nothing you do has had a bad affect

Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Purple

What’s wrong with people’s minds?
How can they be so unkind?
