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!
