And Yet, Here I Am
The tides have been ebbing
Dark ages rise again
Rights disappearing
And yet, here I am.
Women dying miscarrying
No doctor if unwed.
Voting rights being challenged
And yet, here I am.
Health support cancelled
Men and women both damned
Elders' wisdom discounted
And yet, here I am.
Tyranny descends darkly
Democracy harshly slammed
Speaking out harshly penalized
And yet here I am.
My voice cannot be muted
Nor honorable women and men
Revenge might rain on us
And yet, here I am.
Freedom in the balance
I defy with voice and pen
Fatigue, despair threatens
And yet, here I am.
And yet, here I am......
