Woman - Too Long

Woman,

you have kept your head down too long.

Mother.

Teacher.

Leader of song.

Woman,

you are a fighter of truth.

Daughter.

Lover.

Follower of Ruth.

Woman,

don't let words of others say you are mistaken this time.

Hero.

Philosopher.

Whom the bell tolls for louder than a chime.

Woman,

you have spoken; keep on sayin until they have heard.

Powerful.

Soaring.

Like a wolf, become a hunter, we were never a timid bird.

Woman,

we stand in the mist of a deep smog.

Giver.

Protector.

Be a knight, head up high, in this era of rusty cogs.
