To those who did as much and more
Survived the things we’d all abhor
Lacked the credit you were due
For things you did and things you knew
I honor you and yearn to hear
The ways you thrived and choked down fear
The ways you shifted things for good
Though dudes declared you never could
How in between your babies’ squeals
While wearing corsets, hose, and heels
You organized, marched, carried on
While mocked, dismissed, told you weren’t strong
We’re taught which stories to recall
But now it’s time to hear them all
To those who lacked respect and choice
It’s high time that we heard your voice
Speak Your Mind
