We See Them


We see Athena

She rallies through the streets

Marching side by side with her fellow soldiers

Fist clenched tightly around picket signs

Fighting a war close to home

We see her

 

We see Hera

She dwells in the broken hearts of the cheated

Her voice is heard cursing the abusers

She dwells in the wholesome hearts of the lovers

Her voice as sweet as wedding bells

We see her

 

We see Demeter

Her voice can be heard cursing the action less powerful

Those who ignore our dying planet

She teaches the youth to care for the Earth

We see her

 

We see Artemis

She lurks in the darkness of the streets

Hunting those who would do harm

Protecting the vulnerable

We see her

 

We see Persephone

Her beauty in every warm spring day

With every new born flower

Her cry's heard from every funeral

For those who left too soon

We see her
 

We see them

In every woman

She is strong

She is beautiful

She is a force of nature

We see them
