Let's Rise Up


Dear Women of the 20th Century, 

 

Women you are stronger then this 

Women don’t let men down-size you 

When you have all the qualifications but they turn you away

Be soft as a rock 

Women just as equal to men but don’t get the same pay 

Even though they work harder each day

To my dismay this country does not change 

Change something we say we want but do not do 

You are strong and can overcome

Do not become numb 

Do not let them tell you that it is ok 

Because let me tell you women deserve equal pay

 

Best regards,

Sydney Sanner
