Be Bold For Change

Incrementally
gender parity advances
as women demand
their God given rights
as equal members
of the human species.

Be bold for change
we cannot wait another 169 years12
for equality.

Unwilling
to be considered second class citizens,
women demand an equal partnership
in the infrastructure
of civilizations.

Be bold for change
we cannot wait another century
for gender parity.

1  The World Economic Forum says that gender parity will not be achieved until 2186.
