THE DANCERS IN THE DARK ARE 'HER'

SISTER, WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE GIVING UP, WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE THE FIGHT IS NOT WORTH IT, WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE NO ONE UNDERSTANDS...

YOU ARE NOT ALONE, THE FIGHT IS NOT IN VAIN, NEVER, NEVER, GIVE UP...AND KNOW, KEEP IN YOUR HEART, ACROSS THE WORLD, BLOOD OF MANY SISTERS HAVE FOUGHT FOR YOU, HAVE BLED FOR YOU, HAVE DIED FOR YOU,

SO THAT WE, CAN ALL, ONE DAY BE FREE.

YOU FIGHT AS PART OF A COLLECTIVE, A WHOLE, AGAINST ALL KINDS OF MISOGYNIST TYRANNY...SISTERS OF A WHOLE, FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME

THE FIGHT IS FAR FROM OVER, THE BATTLE WOUNDS AND SCARS OF MANY A WOUNDED SOLDIER IN THIS BATTLE NEED HEALING, NEED ENCOURAGEMENT, NEED TO BE LIFTED UP.







NO MATTER HOW DARK IT IS, NO MATTER HOW MUCH THEY TRY TO SILENCE US

THE SONG WILL GO ON

AND ONE DAY

SHE WILL RISE FROM THE ASHES, CHAINED NO MORE 













SO SING, SING WE SHALL, THOUGH THEY PUT THE GAUNTLET AROUND OUR NECKS, THOUGH THEY BLIND OUR EYES, THOUGH THEY RIP OUR BODIES

TO OUR GRAVE

WE WILL NEVER

STOP DREAMING
STOP SINGING
STOP BELIEVING


NEVER

WILL WE BE SILENCED!

BECAUSE WE, ARE MORE THAN ONE,

WE ARE

HER.  


note: the latter song is from the movie "Dancer in the Dark", if you have not seen it, it is a movie about a woman who poor, immigrant, her son going blind, gets into legal trouble, is exploited, and is hung in prison. IT is a hard movie to watch--I chose this song because

it reminds me of the Thousands and I do mean Thousands of Women who have been Killed, for fighting for our Human Rights,

for All of Them, I dedicate this post,

you've NOT been forgotten Sister

and your Song, for Freedom, we carry on...the fight, was NOT

IN

VAIN.

Love, In Solidarity,

Jane
