Poem of the Week

UNTAMED

Peace eluded them,
when they chose freedom to blind obedience
Bitter, barren, and utterly broken,

Wearing choices like a number of lipstick brands
rooted deep,
Wandering wide,
unlike daughters of ancient times,
Whose voices drowned in society’s shrills and
unwritten laws...,
