Two X Chromosomes
For All The Women!
Two x chromosomes to her name, seen so much pain
So much oppression and injustice, driving her insane
She stood up to men
They counted to ten
Then imprisoned her and told her to stay in her lane

Thanks for reading. Inspired by International Women's Day. I know I am late because I was sorting out my 100th piece, but here is a limerick dedicated to women. The ceiling smashers, the defiant, strong, confident women who persevered in the past and those who still do.
Hope you enjoyed it. Please click the heart, leave a comment or both. All interactions and feedback are appreciated!
