A Great Fore Mothers Legacy...

Heritage options prevail 
not written in blood 
not set in concrete 

dysfunction, violation, unwanted seed 

Our foremothers' served us well 
they saved us from a living hell 
when all is said and done 
a womans' love I have succumb 

you can judge me all you like 
call me fairy, call me dyke 

left behind all the abuse, 
observed the straight world - called a truce 

Our fore mothers revealed choices 
they didn't preach fault nor blame 
we learned their lessons well 

for a womans' love is irrevocable 
...a womans love is sinful 
...and a womans love is hell
