What song will you sing?
will it rhyme or chime and help us waste time?
or could it curve and swerve when you get the nerve?
will it smack and crack then take us right back?
will it toke and smoke or make us more woke?
will it rattle the cages and fight for better wages?
will it listen to the crone and we put down the stone?
will it open your heart with a feeling you’re doing your part?
will it lift up the story even though there’s no glory?
will it come from the broken that needs to be spoken?
will you give it a try even though you’re shy?
Will it?
Will she?
She will.
She is.
Me.
Me is-she is.

Every woman out there, please share the song your want to sing! I want to hear it!

In one line in the comments — share one thing that ignites the fire in your soul
