Red Parade

——————————————————————————————————-

Patrons of her, sell her

strip her in courtrooms

To yield power over her

harass,exploit, taunt her

Label her every reaction

too proud, too arrogant

Label her body,anatomy

Too Sexy or plain motherly

patrons of her

question every belief of her

feminine or masculine

Goddess or Witch

—-*******—-*******—-*******—-*******—-*******

She grieved how nobody could ever understand

How could she open her heart like no one else

But she wasnt broken ever ,not even once

She couldn’t toggle anymore

They called her victim and sometimes saviour of all

—-*******—-*******—-*******—-*******—-*******—-*******

The sisterhood waited

Their souls connected

Their Songs Synchronized

Paraded with her

let her Speak her truth

Encircled, a power Zapped

She came out natural

She came out raw

Her love gave life

her love nurtured lives

—-*******—-*******—-*******—-*******—-*******—-****

patrons disguised as false leaders

Rewarding inequality

Look at them dismantled

when they run out of the labels

But now she is too big to live in their cute Cookie jar

She knows she can soon walk for her own pride

And she can always come back to her tribe

—-*******—-*******—-*******—-*******—-*******—-****

Queens go together

Freed from many shackles

proud red in love

Red is color of blood

Red is color of life, red is she

She is all that she can be
