My Oath

My feet planted firmly in her supple soil,

My heart heaving to bolt.

My country once full of such hope,

Now the rights of women are left to spoil.

What of this is within my control?

How may I lend my sisters my battered hand?

I promised my daughter a brighter future,

I’ll be damned.

Here alone I am exposed,

But together we are tremendous.

The fury of women scorned is unopposed.

Together we shall rise from these cold ashes.

So come stand with me,

My allies. Stay close.

Hasten here Sisters, with our poison

Evil men shall be dosed.
