One of the most powerful performances
I have witnessed in any artistic context.
And it comes from 2 fearless young women
using their powerful voices & poetic prowess
to call out patriarchal bullshit.

Nothing I love more than strong young women using their voices
to call out patriarchal bullshit.

No Obstacle Too Tall
During the moments when I am connected to all
Nothing seems impossible, no obstacle too tall
Then I flip back, to all possibilities end
Crying pitiful tears, praying for amends.
But on I go, testing fate, seeing if I can steal a taste
Of any flavor that can re-kindle my faith.
