Who Says a Woman Can’t Rule?

Who says a woman can’t bear the crown, And lead a nation, renown upon renown? Who says her hands can’t hold the reins, Guiding her people through joys and pains? America, the land of the free, Where the future whispers, “She might be…” A leader strong, with vision bright, Who dares to stand, who dares to fight. Think of Hatshepsut, the Pharaoh Queen, A ruler bold, though disguise was seen. She donned the beard, she wore the guise, But her power soared to the Egyptian skies. Zenobia, the warrior, the rebel’s flame, Who challenged Rome, carved her name. With wit and steel, she took her chance, And wove her story in the sands of romance. Wu Zetian, fierce and wise, With rivals crushed and no compromise. Loved and feared, her legacy vast, A testament carved to make judgments last. And England’s Virgin Queen, alone she stood, A marriage of power—her reign was her good. Elizabeth, the monarch who swayed the seas, Her strength is as steady as the London breeze. Catherine the Great, the muse of reform, Through Russian winters, she weathered the storm. Philosopher queen, whose legacy runs deep, A reminder that empires are hers to keep. Who says a woman can’t rule with fire? Who says she can’t rise higher and higher? They’ve crushed the chains, they’ve shattered the glass, Their stories echo from the echoes of the past. Let America rise, let her heed the call, For a woman may lead and lead us all. Not bound by gender, but wisdom and grace— A president’s power, in her rightful place. So, who says a woman can’t rule the land? She’ll rise, unshaken, with a steady hand. For history whispers, both loud and clear: The future is hers—her time is coming near. 2009
