Women Have Stronger Bones

Women have stronger bones

Women have stronger bones
In prehistory we were the same
In the beginning, there was not light
There was fire, there just was

My family came out of East Africa
150,000 years ago descended from Eve
I am the last issue from that journey
That arduous journey was made by equals

Almost 5,000 cycles of the world
Look back on this shiny bit of tin
See men of many cultures subjugating
Females slowly become property
Why?

In Canada, in 1928, in the year my aunt was born
29 years after my grandmother was born
Women were granted the status of “persons”
They were always persons

Women have stronger bones
Lying under their masters
They do not break or crack
But give life

Women have stronger bones
