To Our Unborn Daughters

Written for you these words, the love of my life

the world is yours to discover

with brand new eyes

you're no player in a game of roles assigned

what you possess has no barter, no structure,

no insurmountable walls,

only barriers of perception

Don't you ever be afraid of all of your beauty

you can move without his words

or a grant of submission

Oh they try to smother

you're righteous ambition

and stifle your loving grace

they tell you its a little girl's place

to alter your convictions

no don't you wait...

Put it down, rhetoric

Shake it out now baby

They said you want it

they said you need it

but you don't need it anymore

(and you never did)

They thrust you their products

by making you feel insecure

the matriarch was murdered

and now woman is a four letter word

Put a price on your body

to convince you that it's all you're worth

they are afraid of the power they lose

and the gift of creation

so don't you ever listen!
