Intersectional Battle Cry

"Freedom for women!" they shout These feminists few But how can they not see that she's a feminist, too? So many spaces are unsafe black children are shot little girls are raped young women are beaten bruised battered inside and out The water hoses are turned on to peel black flesh off white bones Women feel alone and silenced within their own homes People say we must fight one fight at a time one or the other sexism or racism the black fight or the woman's fight But how can she separate her skin from her gender? When only intersectionality can defend her? Issues of oppression are intertwined mixed connected suffocating If you're searching for your battle cry, this is the call We cannot address one without seeking justice for all
