Lady Liberty

This statue is a woman.

She’s the symbol of the USA.

Yet people refuse to acknowledge her daughters.

The Lady Liberty, huh?

You know what that makes me think?

The one free woman.

Yeah.

Women are bound from invisible shackles from birth to death, held under rules men don’t have to follow.

Women are told to be quiet and still.

Women are told to “find a good husband.”

So tether myself to a man?

Shorten the chains attached to my shackles?

I don’t like that idea.

Lady Liberty.

Of all the women in America, her freedom is the greatest.

She’s not shackled down.

She’s not chained up.

She’s free.

The one free woman.

Free the daughters of Lady Liberty.

Take her torch and set those chains on fire.
