Blackbird
The time has come.
A flame long lit rises higher
with each generation.
No longer meek
or following a creed
that dictates second-class status,
this sisterhood, each woman
who walks this earth, grows
with each bridge crossed.
Do not ask me to refute this,
for I can not. Nothing will stop
their search for equality.
Its progress may seem slow,
but a blackbird in the wind
will still choose its course.
