WE who DON’T BELIEVE in

We do (+) BELIEVE in
TOGETHER is (+) BETTER
LOVE CONQUERS all
GREEDY is (+) EVIL
WE KNOW
ALL PEOPLE are EQUAL

WE WOMEN MARCHed
As MOTHERS
to TEACH OUR DAUGHTERS
of THEIR HIDDEN POWERS
THEIR SECRET ARMIES

WE WOMEN MARCHed
WITH MEN who COMPREHEND
‘T IS THEIR DUTY to DEFEND
the DIGNITY of ALL WOMEN
She who BIRTHed them LIFE
WE WOMEN MARCHed
Well, more like MEANDERED, MINGLED
FRIENDLY FEELINGs FLOWING FREELY
RELIEVED; NO NEED to DECEIVE
w/FALSE FAÇADE
JOYOUS TO SHINE
IMMERSED IN A SHINING SEA
WE WOMEN MARCHed
to SUPPORT OUR MOTHER EARTH
to CALL for HER PROTECTION (CARE)
this GLOBE OUR BEAUTIFUL HOME
WE WOMEN MARCHed
to SHOW the FEW
OUR MILLIONS
NOT to INSTILL FEAR BUT AWE
KNOW! WE ARE HERE!
And we’re not going anywhere. (LEAVE) (-)
WE WOMEN MARCHed
WE have fought this WAR BEFORE
& we WILL FIGHT & WIN AGAIN
NEVER AGAIN ACQUIESCENT
SILENT SUBSERVIENT
WE ARE DEFIANT NOW
