Like Ash, We Will Rise.A Poem by Ireen ChikatulaA tribute to all women and girls who have been sabotaged. To women and girls who have been sexually, physically, emotionally, financially and Psychologically abused. Like Ash, may you rise.
They scorned us
They trapped us To the core they crushed us They punched us And they bruised us Curtailed to frivolity Strode on Belittled Taunted Dumped to the gutter We lay at our lowest The wind blew We poised with drift From the twinges We flared and we rose We acquired a new mastery The ability to rise From the ground To the greatest heights Nay will like it When we take off We will loom We are untamed And when we rise We will disperse Never to be seized again Like Ash,we rose Like Ash, we will rise. © 2022 Ireen Chikatula |
