I’m sorry
But where were you
All this time?
All these years
When we
didn’t have the right to vote?
the right to choose?
the right to participate in this country?
I’m sorry…
You want me to
attend your
rally?
Where you will discuss
women’s most pressing issues?
What is this malodorous stream
of lies
that you keep shooting at us..
gentle creatures?
Do you think I am that stupid
to be swayed by your ugly campaigns?
Stay away!
Stay away I tell you!
I may be weak
and that is because
I am shackled by the laws
that you made no move
to change!
I may be weak
because you put me in that situation,
with no transparent
honest alternatives.
And because I am weakened
by these laws
I must connive
I must cajole
and I must submit
insincerely
to your load of
—–
No!
You don’t get my voice!
You don’t have my vote!
It’s the one thing
that I can do
that you will not
be in control of
And I will sleep
much better for it
regardless of whether you win
or not.
Here, here Jewaira. Well said.
To quote myself and a post I once wrote long ago: “My Vote is Not for You, Sir!”.
How perfect! Sometimes with politics you really need boots because the BS does get deep!
Ahhh
it felt good letting off steam
I hope I didn’t sound too frightening lol
So right my Lady, one of the best advices I can give myself: Stay Out.
I am still in shock that women worked with and voted for the men that were and still are against their rights.
I am disappointed but not in shock.
Women still have a ways to go to believe in other women.
