A Tribute To Women: Empowerment On International Women Day. Poem by Abraham Lawrence

There was a time when a woman's voice was silent,
Lost in the echoes of indifference,
Her opinions dismissed, her worth nonexistent.

Unseen or seen as less than, pushed to the shadows,
Her existence relegated to the sidelines,
Bound by chains of societal expectation.

No matter her background, her ethnicity,
She was invisible, her struggles overlooked,
Caught in the tangled web of inequality.

Yet look how much progress women have made.
They've gone from fighting for the right to vote in the past to now being leaders in important places like corporate offices and government.

Less than a century ago, denied a voice at the table,
Now empowered to shape and change the world,
With every vote cast, a testament to their strength.

Though challenges persist, women endure,
Their resolve unyielding, their spirit unbroken,
Facing adversity with grace and determination.

Their strength resolute, their spirit unwavering,
They stand united, a force to be reckoned with,
Championing equality, justice, and freedom.

Fighting to reclaim and safeguard their rights,
With every step forward, forging a path,
Towards a future where all are truly equal.

Women embody strength, power, and grace,
Their resilience a beacon of hope,
Inspiring generations yet to come.

Intelligence, charisma, and independence,
Define some of their essence, their uniqueness and individuality should be celebrated,
as we celebrate today let us not forget about the women that have come before us and have fought for women's rights to exist.
