Twenty years later
so little has changed.
Children suffer,
mothers distraught;
waiting patiently for justice,
our silence is bought.
My child is grown now.
It's time I speak out,
afraid NO MORE,
restraints unbound;
saving the lives of my sisters,
til each voice finds her sound.
Freedom for families
who live lives oppressed -
with faith and hope,
alive and well;
bringing forth a future of peace,
they emerge from their cells.
Two decades forward,
will things be the same?
Beyond control
or safe and fair;
our daughters will live in shackles
if they don't think we care.
