Lady Liberty

Ratify Femininity to the nation grown from women Women born and bred yet they still deny How many would it take to rectify? Maybe a man not given equal pay When labor was the same that day Or maybe if our society were to decay Then what do you think they would say? Flowers in the world not given recognition How all of congress is filled with superstition Is that what we call the christian vision? Though some say it may be too late Too late to ignore or to open the gate? Sitting in their highchairs “trying” to relate The past is long overdue for reason to allocate Great endeavors faced yet still unable obtain liberty With a veil of shame we are forced to hide our dignity Shoved into the darkness to wait out our captivity Prosperous light uproot this harsh mentality Lead the way to a brighter ultimate reality She’s bearing the very precious life Meanwhile enduring stress and strife Left stored away to be an intolerable wife But for our strength we know the destination Tracing the stars with a beautiful constellation We must be able come to the realization That exists as a signature of tribulation Trying to acquire the expired restitution Rights long disregarded in the constitution Implications shamefully created like pollution For the arrogance of humanity to remain Inequality needs to be seen the same Voices in the outreach heard in vain It’s not easy to break the chain Trying to pursue the right ongoing route Progression beginning to suddenly reach out Inspiration and ability consuming anything with doubt Aiming for the constant infinity with passion and nobility Feeling empowered to relinquish possession of the hostility Making efforts to transcend the dialogue of hate into tranquility we may disagree but I respect that you see things differently Tangibility can be a tedious thing when it comes to activism There needs to be inadvertent changes within this system Or else we may have to experience a genuine cataclysm
