An Ode to Women's History Month


March madness aside,
could you pause and reflect
upon a faint light cast?
A spirit of courageous sisters
suffering poverty and neglect,
a torch lit, struggling yet to be passed.

Her battle rages forth,
though countless women have died
with her freedoms in sight.
Spiting oppressive injustice,
the life of her abuser's hands' tied;
mislead by the serpent's bite.
