She painted in the attic
Never complained about it
Instead she hated politics
People deliberately being dramatic.
Imagine the journeys of women
From time’s beginning
They listened too
much to parents
beliefs in subjection
“Girls don’t want to
be single
You don’t want big
muscles
Get married, don’t go
to school
Take it easy, you
don’t need to hustle
I’ve messages from my
ancestors
‘cause there were
fighters out there
Not those against one
another
but not treating
others like sisters.
Time we learned
enlightening
Together what can we
bring
Teaching about love, not fighting
It takes a tiny bit
of thinking
I’m standing on the
shoulders
Of my mother, my grandmothers,
and all my ancestors
overcoming man-created disasters
I got my DNA tested
I’m a mutt -- 100 percent
combination of world history
Indus Valley people had services
Women leading the
women
In ancient
Vietnam
Fighting against
oppression
Of poor people as
their mission.
Talk about Esther --
my Jewish roots
Helping afflicted a
virtue
Teaching us to find
our superpowers
Comes with
connecting with our truths
I know I’m not the
first to fight back
European cat lovers
and the worst attacks
horrid generational
flashbacks
Don’t call them
witches or crazy asses
I never wanted to
have children
Just loving my cats
and kittens
and living with my
own creations
means speaking up is
divine intervention.
