*Illustration reference: 1866 – AUGUSTE TOULMOUCHE,
THE HESITANT FIANCÉE
Do not patronize with words just to please me
Nothing worth doing is ever done easy
Do not pat the seat there beside you to sit
I will not oblige, not the littlest bit
Do not expect me to be quiet or silent
To skulk in the corner docile and compliant
You thought me submissive, that was your mistake
Scars healed to rouged steel with each unfounded break
Strip us of freedoms we rightfully gained?
You think us placated? Our will to fight drained?
I say you should quake to the storm that is coming
For history is made by the galvanized woman
Times are a-changing, our trajectory too
Stand aside, or be trampled, is the choice left to you…
