Supreme Lies

They swore and they lied
Women’s rights are tied
To our weak democracy
To our inevitable legacy
Women are no fools
Women are indispensable tools
For the betterment of today’s society
Without women, there is no life
Supreme Court’s obvious gaffe
Affects and hurts men and women
Women and girls are human
Women and girls know what’s right
For themselves. Women must fight
For their rights. Men must support
Women’s rights which equal to human’s rights
Men and women must actively take part
Of the daily battles, the quintessential fights
Let’s remain proactive and vigilant
To expose and to defeat the supreme lies
Once we’re united, we will be triumphant
We will overcome because we are wise
Let’s focus on the main prize
Which is freedom for our allies:
Men, women and children
Let’s say again and again
That we, men and women, will not run
When our human rights are in jeopardy
In danger. We all want a better society
Women or human rights cannot be denied
They swore and they lied
We must fight for our pride.
