You may call me names - feminist or not
But the woman in me will remain
You may applaud the macho-men heroes
But the woman in me will rise
You may grudgingly fill up ‘diversity’ numbers
But the woman in me will thrive
You may justify the hate crimes and the rapes
But the woman in me will fly
You may crush and muffle the feminine voices
But the woman in me will scream
You may dissect, ‘cover-up’ and mutilate me
But the woman in me will stay solid
You can belittle and bemoan the waves of womanism
But we will buttress it all
One woman and another and another
