The Future is Female Females; empower sympathy, strength, humanity A woman’s body is her own and only her own. No law shall violate, Fundamental human rights. Martin Luther King to Gandhi; change came As it should, peacefully but unbreakable. Love each other while we’re here, We only have so many years. If only I, If only you, stepped in others shoes. Issues like these should break the news. Action! I am; what I perceive, What I soak up, And what I love. Role the credits, Take 1, and only 1, Action! Transfigure into the personas, That you envy. And Envy the personas, That you transfigure. Poems By Karolyn Fortuner
