The women I admire.

Capable is she who fights with courage

A warrior,beautiful as Helen

Even the bluejay sings

U are Athena,Goddess of War

From dusk till dawn

U who go,where no man treads

U who climb,race,reach

Like a stab in the dark

Like a wavering thief

In ritualistic perfect symphony

With goal,purpose and strength

Your battles were not without pain

See your knuckles,bruised they are

Evidence of your honorables

U,Lady Macbeth's envying muse.

Some will scorn,later to fret

Some will fret in selfsame scorn

Was Rome built a second day?

Never never sully her innocent name

Poison lives from her archer's bow.

Fly brilliant women soar

U were meant to crown

The sun with your perfect shine

The sky with your talented wand

As martyrs serenade your brutal mettle.

• For the inspiring capable women I know.
