The Web

there's a web we wove
our mothers threaded
mothers embedded
the theories through time
our passion, fire!
emotion conquers action
and quell our desire
to act on our integrity

but we wash those crumbs
from our hands
callouses in different places
tools to command
harmony and intellect and grace
us girls are a different race
we don't shit on history
but we can't fight anymore

harmony and intellect and grace
our mothers led us here
dear mother
stand tall
dear child
the fight is almost through
no escape
our desire is our fate
so dance on sisters

dance on
dance on
dance on
