Rallied For a Cause

It surprised me, randomly she thanked me It had happened so many years ago It was there in the news, reminding her Of the ordeal women still must go through She remembered me, our small victory She called me ‘fearless’ and I almost laughed I had only done what had to be done And absolutely thought no more of it To me, 'twas victims rallied for a cause Through the years men felt free to compliment Some had no clue where the line was drawn Their smiles lingered, trying to be so coy No shame in being inappropriate Creepy old men in positions of clout Charm if at all lost many years ago Enough was enough, it had gone too far It was time to put an end to it all So I took out my pen and let it rip It was over and war I did declare Disgusting fool, he did not have a chance AP: 2nd place 2020 Submitted for contest #METOO sponsored by DEBBIE GUZZI - November 28, 2017
