New Song for the Times…

women
we need new songs
about a country that went
completely wrong
and condemned women
to poverty
misery and death
all at the hands
of terrified
ugly
controlling
power hungry men

Women…a poem

I am here
I take up space
I have a brain
and I know how to use it
I have an attitude
and I know how to use that
as well
and I’m sick
of having my life ruled
by hateful men
men in government
men on the street
men in tweeds
who are sorry
women were ever allowed
into the sacred halls
of colleges
sick of men
thinking they know
ANYTHING AT ALL
about females
as if they have the RIGHT
to tell us what we can
and cannot do
as if they have the RIGHT
to tell us where we can
and cannot go
as if they have the RIGHT
to steal our lives
as if they have the RIGHT
to own our bodies
I’m sick of their constant
violence
constant yammering
constant fear
their pathetic stupidity
and hatred

women
we don’t need a lifeguard
WE NEED
to save ourselves

We will not bleed or die for the men who hate us and think they own our bodies.

women…a poem

we are NOT
the women of the past
we are women
birthed by witches
watched over by
dragons
taught how to play
with fire
and we will
NEVER
be owned
by anyone
so hateful men
think hard
about what you are
UNLEASHING
because
we will
NOT
go back
and you will
NOT
destroy us

These are trying times for most women…who see us being dragged back to the dark ages.

Women…words

Women can get their tubes tied, rather than chance getting pregnant.  Men can get vasectomies, if no children are wanted.  We have to fight back any way we can, until the battle is over.  Unless our out of control government/supremes outlaw all procedures and take away any options.

We need to change the government and what it can do to citizens.  We must, as human beings, have control over our own bodies, or we are nothing more that one more product, owned by others, to be discarded, abused or killed as our owners see fit.

We can do this…Women can win. So be happy and get ready to fight back. We HAVE to change the government.

Women…will not go quietly into the night.

we are not things
to be bought and sold
our bodies owned
by hateful men
who wish us tortured
and dead
we will
NOT
go quietly
into the night
we will
NOT
