A Goddess in the US

Daughter of Leto and of Zeus, 

You swear oaths to yourself and to the moon, 

But have no faith in yourself 

You fear you carry not the knowledge of your brother 

But in fact, you carry more 

For you delight not in the iniquity of man 

But the genius of woman.  

You have lived ages 

But you have only recently gone to college 

You have lived ages 

But you have not yet voted 

You have seen kingdoms fall 

But you are shunned because of your appearance 

You have seen kingdoms fall 

But your tongue offends many 

You swore oaths 

But your innocence was stripped away 

You swore oaths 

But cities you rule no more 

Artemis, you look forward to the day 

That you have the rights of your brother 

But gird yourself with knowledge 

For you will have to struggle, as you have for centuries.
