She Was Twenty One

She set the world on fire
In
A man’s world
When
All girls aspired to similar win
Back then

Carefree with
Foolish innocence and youthful zest
And protestation
For a better world
Written femalely

A political free zone perhaps
For only new men
And
Vietnam was long gone
After
Separating friends and forcing enemies
Unfairly

She was twenty one
And free

A spirit called her to speak
To a changing world

She marched
She spoke loudly

And
She made it at last with
A
Youthful and stunning success

A win
For all women in a male world

She was twenty one and angry

She is why

We now give woman a voice
She is a hero
My Hero
