Eve's daughters

Why don't all women
adhere to these few steps
decide for
yourself
your body
your beliefs
your politics
your rights
and then whoever you
want to love.
Somehow it is simple
a la Hillary Clinton
and wishing it were so.
Instead we have
attacks on our bodies
every day in every way
our beliefs are belittled
our rights and political views
are being ridiculed
discredited, slammed!!!
Will all Eve's daughters
subscribe to Aristophanes's
"poison pen" and rebel?
Not in my lifetime nor
in my daughter's but
someday - in Utopia!
