There was a brief and hopeful light within the darkness<\/p>\n\n\n\n
where sun and flower kiss to paint the skies<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and endless miles would stretch untouched by violence<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where daughter\u2019s hand was safer in the wake<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But Dawn, she races eastern to the fight<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our battle for the freedom to exist<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In solidarity with our human right<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To keep our flesh from subjugated fists<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To right-wing men who think we are but chattel<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unspoken to the nuance of our flesh<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They bray and spit their foaming mouths as cattle<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Abusing all the women they enmesh<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our voices are as on in this refrain<\/p>\n\n\n\n
May your worthless lives be filed with naught but pain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
