Happy International Women’s Day

You are the struggle of so many lost battles,
You are fire among many lost souls.
Six tears in absences
and strength in the struggle for every grave
for every body that is not there today.
We are the wound of the past
that persists today,
of an inequality that suffocates us,
and a struggle that never ends,
we are the representation of life
and life trying to survive,
we are all that deserves peace,
and we are those arms that take up arms.
we are the first link of conception,
and the freedom of humanity itself,
we are women,
we are life
