Easy coming
Easy going
Women´s lives matter
Doesn´t matter who needs you
You´re always there
Always busy
Handing over yourself
Giving a hand to others
Up to the end
When no more
Hand is left
In your breadbasket
So easy
To take anything away
From a caring woman
Hello sisters
Hello sisters, can you hear me?
I am one of you
They settle their accounts without us
They laugh at us
Being stupid
Doing their work
Cleaning their toilets
Raising their sons
Just to continue history
I wish we could take over
It´s still the sisters they abuse
To disrupt our strength
Don’t let me be misunderstood
It´s your choice, sisters
Let´s start it over
And create a powerful sisterhood
I need all those meadows
The daffodils and the birds
Hanging out with friends
Dropping into heavy stories
Of property
Of ownership
Ownership of the world
Starts by taking ownership
Of words
Languages
Thoughts
Feel free to be
Yourself
Mean things
Mean thoughts
Mean people
They mean the world to you
Spit them out
No longer
Taking care of people
Who don´t care
Share the best things of your life
Within your sisterhood
So they may return to you
As blessings
Of former days.
Be predatory
Don´t be afraid
To disappoint others.
Just don´t disappoint
Yourself.
