Changes

                                                                             Let me be clear 

As I know how to be 

I am not doing it for me

It’s for my children

And my children’s children

The future is coming, no matter what

We can’t hide from it

We have to engage with it

We have to Embrace it

All this senseless cruelty won’t keep it out

The cruelty ends here

This is the moment 

When everything changes 

 “Everyone can see you challenging me, boy

We can’t have that"

The future is now, old man

All this time 

I thought my experiences made me who I am

But my memories are false 

You have tortured me enough

With the idea that my mother was and still powerless

That time has no meaning

Keeping her from knowing her true self 

What else have you been lying about? 

Be careful when you talk about her now

I don’t doubt it, that she’s my hero

That she has found her voice

Because it was her fate to find it

This face she showed the world

The face of sanity, that was her real mask

She’s not a sentimental woman 

What are you so afraid of? 

The truth about her or the truth about you? 

It’s a classic case about patriarchy 

A classic case about resisting change

Hail! to the new world
