earth flower

soft as an earth flower 

and brimming with power

the foundation of humanity

history’s oppression; insanity

we are the strong willed

our freedom can't be killed

society tries

to fill us with lies

to keep us hidden, 

enslaved to what they’ve bidden 

our bodies creating new life

yet equality is never rife

men and women are impartial

so why are we fearful? 

to be a female

doesn't mean to be frail

we are capable

and prejudice escapable
