Villenelle for Our Unborn Daughters
From fertilized spark, a daughter’s life ignites,
We vow to shield her nascent breath, so free,
Feminism must guard her sacred right.
Each beat foretells a blossoming of light,
No tyranny may steal her destiny,
From fertilized spark, a daughter’s life ignites.
Though biases conspire to blot our sight,
We will not yield to calls of mockery,
Feminism must guard her sacred right.
Let sister bonds arise to ban the night,
And lift her voice beyond the silent plea,
From fertilized spark, a daughter’s life ignites.
Through every law and rite that rules our fight,
We stand unwavering for all to be free,
Feminism must guard her sacred right.
We champion rights for women in their might,
Yet fail the smallest spark in unseen decree,
From fertilized spark, a daughter’s life ignites,
Feminism must guard her sacred right.
