Hell hath no fury like woman unchained.A Poem by Kate JohnsonHell hath no fury like woman unchained. She breaks forth from her history confined, And, with righteous anger held for an age, Wreaks blessed havoc on closed, narrow
minds. She rises, unbowed, from restraining hands, Seizes her rights and her dues and her
place. Then, with strident voice, she makes her
demands, And shows her oppressors a vengeful face. Yet her sister smiles with loving kindness, With graceful strength, bends without
breaking, And gentle hands cleanse eyes from their
blindness, Freeing her captors from their own makings. The
first is seen and her message is heard; Her
sister is loved and her lesson learned. © 2015 Kate Johnson |
