Woman
Woman!
Today is your day
Our day
But so too should be everyday
We celebrate our beings
Our Mothers ago
However...
Will our children celebrate
Us in years also
Woman!
Loose yourself !
Unshackle your chains
Take these labels from your package
Skanks! Hoes! *****es! Sluts!
Replace with
Ladies! Queens! Mothers! Leaders!
Strength!
You are mothers of nations
Teach your children well
You hold the backs of your men
When their burdens are too much to bare
Still...
You carry your own
You cry the tears of your nation
While you hold the world in your hands
You trodd the parched earth with bare feet
Seeking water from the river of knowledge
So your offsprings may drink their fill
From the swell of your breasts!
Woman!
Put your clothes on!
Cover your temples!
Let he who wants to find your scriptures
Search through your pages for the reveal
Keep him reading through your book
Let him prove himself
Before you show him what he desires to see!
Stately! Walk Stately!
Nature should bow at your very feet!
Proudly! Stand Proudly!
Love your every being
Lift yourself for all the world to see
Woman!
Yes you, woman!
Today is your day
Our day
Make it be everyday!
