\"New<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

protect our women
\nand girls from violence
\nagainst the mayhem
\nand the silence<\/p>\n

of pains
\nand abuses kept hidden
\nfrom the losses and costs
\nof living<\/p>\n

in a capitalist world that
\nshows no regard
\nfor those whose
\nlabors are so hard<\/p>\n

the labors of domestic and manual
\nwork
\nthe labors of gestation and
\nchildbirth<\/p>\n

lives devoted
\nto others’ growth
\nmany forced alone
\nto rear our youth<\/p>\n

in a world dominated by men
\nbent on dealing
\ndeath and doom
\nin opposition to the healing<\/p>\n

that she brings
\nto the equation
\nhis role destruction
\nhers creation<\/p>\n

protect our women
\nreduced to playthings
\nobjects of pleasure
\nnot valued beings<\/p>\n

exalt them love them
\nadore them praise them
\nin opposition to their degradation
\nwe must raise them<\/p>\n

to levels equal
\nto that of men
\nabove the chauvinist lie
\nof the original sin<\/p>\n

from them all men are birthed
\nnot the reverse
\nso how do we conceive
\nthat an Adam came first<\/p>\n

human society began
\nwith women in the lead
\nunder primitive communism it was they who
\nmet social needs
\nindeed<\/p>\n

they were matriarchal clans
\nthat relied on women to feed them
\nwhere they enjoyed
\nfull sexual freedom<\/p>\n

but societies changed
\nas classes arose
\nproperty relations
\nreversed the roles<\/p>\n

of the sexes
\nif truth be told
\nthrough force of arms
\nmen took control<\/p>\n

passing wealth and status
\nthrough male descent
\nthrough each social evolution
\nmen would reinvent<\/p>\n

classes that raised them to
\nthe helm
\nof all roles in society
\nwhere they would overwhelm<\/p>\n

women and girls
\nreduced to domestic slaves
\nsexual objects child bearers
\nand victims of the depraved<\/p>\n

urges of males
\ncorrupted by the ruling classes
\nwhose agenda was to dominate
\nby dividing the masses<\/p>\n

along lines of gender
\nrace, ownership of wealth
\ncreating every deviant trend
\nthat undermined social health<\/p>\n

hence the need
\nfor gender unity
\nas essential to unite
\ntoday’s broken communities<\/p>\n

so we must return
\nto the source of the communal vision
\nadvance with women in the lead
\nback forward to communism<\/p>\n

the only system
\nthat will free
\nour women
\nlet them be<\/p>\n

the force of nature
\nthey truly are
\nbeacons of hope
\nsociety’s guiding star<\/p>\n
