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 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 it's a little girls 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!
