Lady Liberty How sad for our daughters to suffer for our son’s destruction Oh how my heart cries, when my sister dies for me How my blood seems to stop flowing as I digest the sorrow Of her spilled Blood upon this table of mans creating Oh how she finds her place beside the worriers who served her home She softly straitens her hair she was given with a comb Making right her beauty in a place of war She stands without acknolagment but still she finds her place As she is robbed of the gratitude from those who owe it Her blood runs the same from a smaller vein Yet the color of the shed opon this desert sand will always be the same How much sacrifice is sacrifice how marred our sister’s face How scared and maimed her elegance Our lady of liberty, cries for her own In this battle that knows no sex, no difference with hate She asks who she must follow she is careful who she trusts She trusts her father to show her where to fight She was a soul before she became a women She was a women before she became a warrior And she was a soldier before she gave it all She was not cohearsed by a nation her trumpit was not sounded She was not pressured or pursuded by a generation She was not honored or saluted for her dedication She exerts her muscular force, the whole she is given She doesn’t hold back, she knows she must earn Every drop of well treatment Respect is of little value it is something she has learned to live without Something she knows she won’t fully recive She is decorated with honor, yet it is perceived as inferior to true honor She fights for men but she stands for women Imposterous in mans perception she is devoured by the wolf of mascullenity yet she perishes the same sadly at times without repentance how much courage is courage who examines a character to find courage it cannot be seen from the frame of the body or the make-up of the gender when looked for we become blinded to her struggle it is only seen when she sweats the blood of bravery it is plaqued and trophied only by her casket as she passes she is only saluted in memorial with her rifle strait the helment her protector in battle stands now a symblol of what she deserves she stood once proud of a nation that forgot her but she was not dismayed by mans correction she fought for her brother and stands beside them but she is remembered by her sisters saluting the frame that holds her face she never knew why still she never questioned her equality a soldiers life she lived in a service forgotten but something inside us all makes us weep for the blood she poured upon the ravages of men she holds her dignity and if it is stolen or given to a mans conflict it is still remembered whos blood can buy us freedom whos sweat gives us liberty men rise and fall to the call of duty for it is burned into their mind the live to preserve that which has been established they do not choose their service they must protect and nothing less but what place can a women find she chooses death over life she chooses struggle over love, .she chooses war over peace, she chooses soldier over freedom but who will remember their choice will history share in expressing where they stood will my mothers and sisters daughters and granddaughters be saluted while they live as well as in their death, does not sun shine upon their tomb the same but she lives today and bleeds tomarrow, but her lifes impact will never be deserved only excepted either in thanksgiving or lost in a trench of granted freedoms I will as a brother not forget the blood of a soldier , not a women , but a warrior, That no man can contend to take from this women who stands next to us Like our statue with a touch to free us I hope I will not to forget the body of the blood That lived inside our emblem of triumph She stood to fight She stood to live And when she cries with blood or tears Her pain for us is felt the same |
