feminism fails
when it disregards
those of color
for we know that every dollar
a woman makes
a man makes more
we seem to disregard the bit
where a women of color
make even less
than their white counterparts
feminism needs to stop
excluding
disregarding
those impacted most
it's a hazard to progress
pull up a chair
scoot down the bench
it's time we serve up
intersectional feminism
for the table can hold more
there's plenty of progress to go around
