Warrior Women

The fragile-brave woman

who refuses

to kill

an unborn girl

and stands by 

her daughters

through every storm

the little girl

who insists

"education"

in the face of

a terror regime

and a gun to her head

the young woman

who speaks

periods, breasts

and abuse

without the shackle of 

honor, 

fear or shame

the survivor

who battles a 

crime

violence or a

fatal disease

but doesn't compromise

her mind,voice or name

the old woman

who lets go

of centuries of do's & don'ts 

and stands with the girls

against the men

warriors all

in words, thoughts

and essence !

All Warrior Women !
