A Feminist’s Duty

For years we have fought to gain our rights

Rights, by birth, we were destined to obtain.

Obtaining them, not just for us, but for others too,

Too weak to raise their own voices to be heard.

 

First it was for equal rights among the different races,

Races which, when you think about it, are nothing but figments of our imaginations.

Imaginations that run wild, creating laws of segregation,

Segregation based on the color of our skin.

 

Next we fought for our own rights,

Rights to vote, and have control over our own lives.

Lives that have been living in Hell on Earth because we were women,

Women that, for centuries have been nothing more than property.

 

Finally, once again we take the plunge,

Plunging into the depths of humanity to help out our fellow brothers and sisters.

Sisters that like women, and brothers that like men,

Men and women that are no different from you and me, except they choose to love someone like them.
