It started with herons that directed the wind.
They had opinions, desires, dreams, and independence in character.
They owned men not just because of sex appeal as defined by men.
They were multidimensional with the complexity of galaxies.
 
Then society took a turn.
Women slowly deteriorated into body frames with vapid statements, size zero waste lines, big lips; sex symbols.
I cant portend why.
 
Women withered away
Daughters didn’t understand that the mothers they idealized were diseased- this was…is normal-
They learned what it means to be a woman from the fragmented sole that they saw in front of them. Looking at who is supposed to be teaching them how to live in the world, when in fact, they were teaching them how to die.
 
I honestly do not know a whole woman, but would love to meet one and fight everyday day to become one…though I don’t know what that is.
 
All I can ask myself is: What woman will be alive to be proud of me?
