Us descendants of Eve Are not here to please
We may be beautiful
But… do not be deceived
we are smart
turning new pages, making new pages
in His-story and making it Her-story
Our minds shifting like gears
over the years
the women before us
made way for us
And bestowed upon us
The gifts of Life intelligence, cleverness, and elegance
So we could be so smart and poised
equal to the boys
To make some noise
To be heard and adored
we sit on the thrones that we made with our own blades
elevating our sisters to sit with us
and not beneath us
Us descendants of Eve
All from different nations
All of different creations
We all have our past presents and futures
In the past, we could not rise
Even when we tried to rise we were turned away
They said we had to be below
That we had to be given the microphone
To speak
We couldn’t take the microphones
To amplify our own voices
In the present, we are rising Hand in hand...
Together
With more rights
Taking flight
Pushing oppressions with all our might
In the future, we have resin
Our daughters coming next
Have opportunity
And finally
Women and men have equal pay
No matter the skin colour gender or race
And we are all moving forward
In
Our
Own
Way
Us descendants of Eve
Fighting for ourselves
In an all-male room
A woman’s opinions fall on deaf ears
And cannot be heard…
Because…
they are silenced…
People say women can’t lead
They should be led
But this generation of Eve
is not led we lead
Us descendants of Eve
Fight for what we believe
And make our voices heard
Even when people don’t want to listen
We raise our hands high…
And change the world…
We don’t wait for the world to change for us
Us descendants of Eve
Are amazing in Every way
We have girl power
We fly higher
Work harder
When boys make remarks like
“ go make me a sandwich “
Because we are smart...
or we have brains
Or
We know how to train
Well they should go refrain
They may call some girls
“ man-hater “
When they call them out
And
I thought sexist remarks were getting better
But It seems they’re just getting clever
Boys rating girl on a scale of one to ten
But girls you should know you are a 10/10
don’t let people's comments stay on your skin
Brush them off
before they can show
like an ink tattoo
You know who you are
You are a proud descendant of Eve
Paving the way, being brave
Geniuses with passions
Just imagine
Us descendants of Eve
Are hustlers
Badasses with minds
Rebels with a cause
When you add brains to our beauty
We are girls on fire
Us Descendants of Eve
Emerge from glittering seas
Filled with identities
With individualities
With love and harmony
Us Descendants of Eve
Are shameless for what we believe
And now we don’t conceal the truth anymore
Yes… this is what we believe
We believe that Black Lives Matters
We believe that Indigenous lives matter
We are feminists and we should be proud to be
We value equity
Us descendants of Eve
Make up a large part of the world
But we do not run the world
The world is run by men
But I think that should change
I think women and men
Should run the world together
Side by side, not one below to other
Us Descendants of Eve
Deserve recognition for the work, we conceived
But too many times
The men get recognized for the work we brought to life
with our own creative minds
Us descendants of Eve
Do not wait to be saved
we save ourselves
with stealth imaginable
with mirth compatible
In gold and frankincense
We dress
No longer bequeath
No longer child brides
Nor slaves to the eye
Because
On gold horses, we ride.
