The Power of Woman

The Power of Woman

We will not be suppressed
You can take away our homes
You can take away our children
You can cut us till we bleed
And beat us till our bones break
And still
We will have the innate power of creation
You can suppress us, repress us and depress us
But we will still be the light of the world
We the wives and lovers and mothers and sisters and daughters will take back the earth
We will tend nature’s garden
And raise orphans and the children born of rape
To do that we must learn not to be financially or emotionally or physically dependent on men
We must take back the night and our power
We are the moon pulling the tides of change
We are the Goddess within and the Goddess without

Frog

Frog in pond. Happy.
Frog hops away from crane beak.
Frog in road. Flat.
