Superwomen


   I miss superwomen.
   They led us through somehow.
   Not off a cliff,
   Or into an abyss.

   Strongly and quietly stating the obvious.
   Human beings are important.
   Each person has a place.
   To contribute to our community,
   Our country and space.

   The superwomen I miss.
   Could fill this page with a list.
   Ginsberg
   Chisholm
   Ochoa
   To name a few.

   Where are our superwomen?
   Ready to speak with elegance, intelligence, and grace.
   Where are our superwomen,
   To lead us from disgrace.
