Marching Through the Seasons

Who

Is going to stop us?

Strong women accumulating like snowflakes

Creating a blizzard that

Snowballs into a movement

Winter is here

What

We scream at the top of our lungs

Can be heard for city blocks

Showing people we are serious

The passion and fury tingling within our bodies

Filling our lungs with air,

To shout, “I am a nasty woman!”


Where

People gather around the world

Showing their support

France, Greece,

Spain, and Italy

Our march will not be cut short

We continue to persist

She persisted

When

Our voices need to be heard.

Falling deaf upon the ears

Of those who don’t want to hear

The cries of those oppressed

Who have been wronged by the patriarchy

A system made to extinguish our light

That burns bright in the fall nights

Like red leaves on black asphalt

Why

Must we march?

To combat those around us

In order to make our own choices

To feel safe walking down the street

In late summer evenings,

Feeling the breeze upon our soft skin

Without worrying about what we wear

To not be blamed for others actions

How

Can we relate to everyone,

That the past must not be undone?

The work of the women before us

Allowed us to flourish

Our rights like bees

Pollinating each flower

Enabling us to bloom

Spring is coming soon.
