Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge #237 – Zeitgeist
& Eugenia’s Weekly Prompt – Opalescence
the zeitgeist of the 70s
shimmering opalescence
of hope
springing forth
what we thought
eternal
now
powerful crusty men
attempt to dim our light
by deciding our future
i ache with a desire to fight
for and with my sisters
never in my lifetime
had i thought we’d be subjected
to this orchestrated control
forced upon us
our bodies
once again not our own
