Poem: Women Rise

Our wombs thunder

with spirits of steel

a steady pace and hunger

for healing.

The stars,

our hallowed ground,

call us to fight

with tender hearts

and wise minds.

From priestess

to prostitute, sacred all,

made to conceive

not be torn apart.

We must rise

against edicts that imprison

lies and pass evils
from dark to light.

Inspired by Hillary Rodham Clinton, first woman presumptive nominee for President of the United States of America.

Submitted to: The United State of Women

"Patience is not simply the ability to hold on - it's how we behave while we're waiting." Joyce Meyer
