A Song for Sheroes


Women, make men comprehend,

Women, make men comprehend,

Women,

Make men comprehend

That each sister

Has a Harriet Tubman

Prepared to seek

A place where men

Do not abuse their Queens,

A place that erects Jewels of Respect.


Women, make men comprehend,

Women, make men comprehend,

Women,

Make men comprehend

That each sister

Has a Shirley Chisholm

Prepared to shake and make every state

Understand that liberation

Must not become a membership card

Only given to men.


Women, make men comprehend,

Women, make men comprehend,

Women,

Make men comprehend

That each sister

Has a Dr. Mae C. Jemison

Entering a NASA shuttlecraft

That ascends to a time

Where gender mistreatment ends.


Women, make men comprehend,

Women, make men comprehend,

Women, make men comprehend.
