Art and the philosophy of life

Alabama HB454 will allow women who have abortions to be charged with murder, saying that the “preborn’s” rights are as important as the mother. Funny, since women don’t actually have any rights. So now a fetus has more rights than she does. Since women are murdered and beaten and raped every six minutes.

Women…a poem

person in black jacket and black backpack standing on brown grass field during daytime

the time came
when women
in America
had to fight
if they wanted to live
without chains
the corrupt
male government
believed they could
own women
their bodies
and their souls
but women
who had been mistreated
from the very beginning
started fighting back
wild
and free
they burst forth
and said
NO MORE
you shall
NOT
have me

Women…

women
CREATE
but as long as they are
crushed
under under the fists of
patriarchy
we will never know
what they are capable
of doing
what a loss
for the species
for the animals
for the world itself
to those men in power
extinction
is preferable
to setting women
free

Don’t forget. The men in charge want us to forget this…so REMEMBER.

Women…a poem

woman riding on white horse

women
are wild spirits
strong and free
they are brave
and dangerous
that’s why
their culture
does everything
in it’s power
to break
and control them
remember
who you are

Okay, so…Women’s History Month.

we all know
Harriet Tubman
Susan B.
Madam Curie
and the rest of our
foremothers
we know
Angela Davis
the poets
writers
screen stars
who even now
have a difficult time
getting roles
recognition
and equal pay
but don’t you think it’s
strange
that there is a
WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH
I mean
there is no
MEN’S HISTORY MONTH
but then
why would there be a
MEN’S HISTORY MONTH
see
white men allow women
and African Americans
to HAVE  one
MONTH
a year
to celebrate the fact
that they
EXIST
and actually
DO AMAZING
AND IMPORTANT THINGS
while white males
have
EVERYDAY
of EVERY YEAR
to call their own
so there’s no need
for them to celebrate their existence
during a special month
because they celebrate
themselves
every single day
the months
dedicated to a certain group
are the crumbs thrown to
those who have no
real power
these months
are given to us
to keep us quiet
these months
are not threatening
to the establishment
or to the status quote
the men in charge
do not have to be afraid of us
instead
they hope we will be happy
with what we have been GIVEN
and ALLOWED TO HAVE
they are hoping that what they are
ALLOWING US TO HAVE
will stop us from fighting back
I think we should use our
MONTH
to stop being nice
and instead
kick ass
and show them what
warrior women can do
make sure everyone knows
how women were jailed
starved
denied medication
force fed
kept in filthy
damp cells
and all the rest
BY WHITE MEN
who also dragged the women through the streets
by their hair
and threw tomatoes at them
because they had the nerve
to demand the right to vote
these women were
FIGHTERS
WARRIORS
AND PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW
WHAT THEY DID
AND WHAT THEY CONTINUE TO DO
AND THAT WE ARE THE CHILDREN
OF THE WITCHES THEY DIDN’T GET TO BURN
THE CHILDREN OF
FIGHTING WOMEN
WHO WERE BRUTALIZED
JUST SO WE COULD VOTE
AND GET AN EDUCATION
GENERATIONS OF WOMEN
WHO GAVE UP EVERYTHING
TO MAKE A BETTER WORLD
FOR US
these are the foremothers
men have tried to
ERASE

THESE ARE THE WOMEN
we need to celebrate
and keep alive
these are the stories
children need to hear

the meek will never inherit
ANYTHING AT ALL
that’s just one more lie
told by another man

We will never save the world, or each other, without the voices and work of women in positions of power where they can be heard and their ideas resected and put into action.
