Fire Woman

Fire Woman

Burning

In the spotlight, shoes

So flashy and bright, so comfortable

Even you forgot how to

Fight

Fire Woman,

You make your art

But the impact is forgotten at

The trinket

Line

Fire Woman,

Perhaps the answers

Lie

In the questions

They

Forgot to ask in the first place

So turn around, look down that dirt road beckoning sweet ‘used to be’

Even you must admit,

It’s too late to give a speech on subserviency

They’re enamored with the washing line

Christian Pilates selfie crew,

Too involved in rearing media babies

To think about the protest march

Fire Women,

Without the burn

No rights, but plenty of personality to show for it

What good are ears?

Take your influencer cash

And make flashy-sweet-candy-pie identities

Siloed in your comatose defeat

Fire Women

Consume yourselves

While your progeny fall under the sweet spell of

Mediocrity

Line them up like sweet little lambs, walk the line,

Down the bright path of everything they betrayed

For the flavor of

The lulling

Fire Woman,

This world will burn

Sure as shit, it’s heating up

They’re willing to chain themselves to

Corporate gains

And I say let them have their precious

Apocalypse

Refrain: the world’s on your shoulders, you know you have the power to change it, the word’s on your shoulders but did you unify to change it?  The betrayal lies within your own ranks.  Fire women, now burn baby burn, burn baby burn.  You wouldn’t let yourselves win.  –Now there’s a horrible question!
