The Women Will Come- Solidarity

THE WOMEN WILL COME

The women will come...
Put down their swords
Pull back their arrows
Point forward the direction of their dreams.

The women will come...
Dissolve their armor
Take off their cloaks
Let down their hair
Surrender in true authenticity.

The women will come...
Pledge alliance
Embody justice
Sing prayers
Aloud in truth
Together
One by one
Hand in hand.

The women will come...
Bridge the loss of yesterday’s pain
Bridge the absence of tomorrow’s unknown
Bridge a nation captured by violence.

The women will come...
Bring balance to the Masculine
Redefine beauty
Uphold each other.

The women will come...
Witness an endurable strength
Stand beside an unshakable courage
Rebuild what was once forgotten.

The women will come...
Vulnerable as a ferocious appetite
Hunger that moves the earth to shake and ocean swell
Healed by the wails of untold stories.

The women will come...
Hearts raised in their flag for freedom
Blood on their bodies
Dirt scraped beneath their knees.

The women will come...
in
Forgiveness
Compassion
Collaboration
Resilience
Simple heroic acts of kindness.

And the Women Came…
And the Women Came…
And the Women Came…

As peacemakers
Forward,
Embodied.

BRING BACK OUR GIRLS
