Gloriously luxuriating in eternal sleep

Forlorn; bereft of golden
(slippered) opportunities I weep;
Three score and four years
replete with mailer daemons,

decades elapsed at...

Violence against women
Experienced discrimination
Maltreatment weakened them
Witnessed inequality in rights and freedom
Once surpassed made them superwomen!

Let’s end women’s sacrifice and strife

of blind fools in the world today,

survivalist right brain terrified
by white privileged winter
