Woman,
We built a fort around you,
behind the walls of words,
mild, charming, graceful, motherly, ...
a chain you got used to,
forgot you could break free
like the elephant chained from being a calf
forgets to use its strength to break free.
Now, a whirlpool of abuse, shame, dishonour...tries to suck you in a conspiracy of the dispossessed and threatened.
Remember, the world is more than ever in need of you for your strength, intelligence, perseverance, imagination....in its crisis.
Let's give a clarion call for a humane world
not a man made world.
