I see. I do.
I see. I do. I understand.
I want. I need. I'm here.
Looking back to what was
To what has changed
To what stayed the same.
voices heard generations, Centuries later
Still crying out for peace
For equality
For humanity
The shadows of a past
Destructive and constructive
Reflections of marches ,
Protest and Trail Blazers
Women of all ages, races, and culture
Making a noise for change
being a voice out loud
When crying inside
When raging inside
To all past, present, and future.
Use your voice ,
No matter how or what you use to speak
We are all sisters under the skin
From day one to present
Being who we are
Some hiding, some lying , doing what is necessary
To make change
to be ourselves
To be true
Be loud, proud,
Don't just let them hear
Make them listen
Let them want to listen
Sisters under the skin
Sisters for generations
Remembering the voices
Looking for change
equality
To be treated human.
