The Fire Rages On
This isn’t something new -
He still betters her,
Even in pay; definitely in the
Freedom to choose, to have
Intellectual equality, to speak, be heard, be
Respected in a public forum.
Every child is by woman born
Regardless of class, or race, of
Ability or agility, whether it be hard
Grit or a natural gift that could
Expand a horizon, then only to be
Sheltered by their sex, by gender politics.
Our past though can be remoulded by your present hands,
Now more than ever needed, for their future.
