This is dedicated to the ideal of free women everywhere






I have a voice
even though you
have tried to
silence me all
of these years



I have value
beyond your
concept of me
as property, brood
mare, slave



I have vision
beyond the confines
of your domestic
expectations, I
want to breathe



I have opinions
that are not yours,
I will not ask
for permission
to share them



I have ideas
you cannot cage,
my thoughts fly
on Favonian winds



I have freedom,
your patriarchy
shall not choke
the goddess that
lives and breathes
in all women



I have solidarity
with sisters, brothers,
together we swim
against the tides
of iniquity



I have love
To battle your hatred

I have faith
To battle your doubt

I have hope
To battle your misogyny

I have a dream
that even you
cannot change...
