Women look hatred in the eyes
every single day
from stripping us of civil rights
to interrupting all we say
Misogyny stains society's hands
blood red for all to see
unintentional or internalized
still keeps us from being free
Some try to wash their hands of this
saying "Well... that wasn't me"!
but when we push and work for change
only care to protect the "he"
The only solution that is true,
is to reflect and look within
learn from voices of the women
that the world has gravely sinned
I myself have much to learn
and I'm not afraid to say so
ladies of diverse identities
I look to you and work to grow
For inaction is the one true bullet
that makes the shot a kill
those who believe they're above it all
don't care and never will
but their silence only benefits
those they claim not to be
see the world through a woman's eyes
it's all the same to me.
