My Rights

Today I awake without autonomy

 Yet they keep the sodomy 

Today I awake with restrictions 

Yet they follow teachings with contradictions 

Today I awake less free

Today we see


We will rise

Don’t act surprise

We will March 

And lead the charge 

We will fight

Do hold on tight 


Hell hath no fury like a woman scorn

The Valkyrie has blown the horn

War is on the horizon 

There’s no ruling with Religion 

Since all it does is poison 


My Body My Choice 

My Mouth My Voice 

My Mind My Word and Words hold power 

They will fall from their tower 


Society has too many plights 

Just so they can dim the lights 

Leaving people without sights

Here we are to clarify 

Justice is what we verify 

All while fighting for my rights
