To Ride The Unicorn - poems about life - by pegesus unicorn
Who Are They?
who are they to say that i have no abilities to create what i want
that i am not resourceful in my own rights to persue a dream
lead the life i choose...make the decisions i need to make
be a partner with equal rights without political promises
who are they who feels i need help to get a job of my choice
to begin a business on my own...resourceful enough to know how
who are they who waits to seek my vote when time runs out
who felt my vote not really that important at the start
i learned my lessons of life from my mother...she made sure i knew
she laid the groundwork for me before i was born...she knew life
who are they who think my life and needs are the same back then
that was 40 or 50 years ago...dont you know your history
show me what you do know...let me make my decisions
understand my needs are not the same as you believe
remember the 60's and 70's when women began to choose
show me what you do know...then let me make my choices
Who Are They?
