GUEST POST: The Ballad of Posie Parker By Ali Bee

The Ballad of Posie Parker. By Ali Bee.

Parker, Long and Allen
Took America by storm
Into the home of power they strode
The country to inform
Other women spoke their piece
Their voices powerful and strong
But the dragon in his lair was faced
By Parker and by Long.

A wizard who by foul means
Disguised himself as female
By spells and such would take their rights
And hand them all to males
With swords in hand they braved the cave
The wizard was within
But being not the male sex
They were invisible to him

So he continued with his evil work
To make all women slaves
His message spread to other lands
His wants were making waves
Warriors began to fall
Under the wizard spell
Accusations flew of crimes
And wrong-thinking as well

Parker’s fighting skills were trashed
Her allies deemed as demons
Her castle named a rich man’s house
Her plans as mere scheming
We must silence her they cried
Her voice is not the right one
She don’t look right, the darkness looms
When former allies get their spite on
       

Forget about those captured young
Forget about their wounds
Forget about the war that comes
Just send out the hounds
To tear her down, defeat her now
Our oppression does not matter
To keep her quiet, we’ll hand our rights
 Over on a silver platter

Our warriors have to look right
Wrong speak is not permitted
Your past examined for all wrongs
That may have been committed
Wear the right clothes
Have the right hair
Be from here
And not from there

The wizards laugh in utter mirth
As we decide what freedom’s worth
