International Women’s Day 2022

How many women watch tv
And so are scarred by what they see

The silent victims of the wars of men
The wives, the mothers, who once again

Must wait and weep, then one day mourn
Their husbands, for the child they’d born
To die in some forgotten field.
What weapons can these warriors wield?

– Irene C S ClarkHogg
