preachan_sidheIf you want equality, join the draft
Say the men who crumbled the cities,
Who silenced soft and pleading voices.
Who ignored the shrill call of Gaia,
Who did not reckon with the croaking wisdom of crones.
But I will not join them.
And instead, will build something new.
I will raise my sons to love abundantly,
My daughters to tear down prisons.
One mother's hand determines the fate of a thousand.
One mother's hand can strike a match to burn it all.
One mother's hand can heal the masses.
Join the draft, they say.
But I am not a man.
I will join the world.
