Yeah…“Swimming upstream” does not even compare;
To what women go thru to get anywhere.
Smiling & waving next to husbands in power.
There’re few escapes from his locked turret towers.
Growing numbers are striking out on their own.
Birthing , raising & working…thru blood & bone.
Many will go farther than ever before.
Women will have it all…& very much more.
For, women born now know that men mostly take.
They will lead us & prove what women can make.
