The Woman Who Went Too Far
The Woman Who Went Too Far
There was once upon a time
a woman
who went too far.
She was stopped
and fell down.
She was not the Humpty Dumpty type.
Slooooooooooowly
she gathered her pieces
and made her back straight again.
Despite million tons of weight
pulling her down,
finally
she managed to get up.
She stood up and shook her hair.
She walked here, she walked there,
Until she went so far again.
So far is too far!
Said the men who loved her.
So far is too far!
Said the men who did not want her.
So far is too far!
Said the women who could not understand her.
Let’s go too far!
Said the women who were not afraid.
