By: Cedric McClester Every woman who comes forward Needs to be heard Although their silence Might be what’s preferred By the men who take advantage Though it rarely occurs That they might clap back Despite denials and slurs Every woman who comes forward Whatever the time Has every right to report A long-ago crime She’s still entitled to Drop a dime In an effort to unmask The unrepentant slime Every woman who comes forward Should be listened to Although that’s what some men Are reluctant to do Let’s face it some men Are missing a ***** And their behavior Is the only clue Every woman who comes forward Emboldens another Who wouldn’t be talking If not for the other It can be scary For a certain kind of brother When faced with the bad news That he’d like to smother Cedric McClester, Copyright © 2017.  All rights reserved.
