Wednesday March 8th
is the Day Without A Woman strike
and International Women's Day.
Tomorrow the women who are able
will skip work
(and those who can and can't
will wear red
refrain from shopping
ask the men in their life
for some help for once
and attend rallies)
thus demonstrating even and especially
to those (including some leaders of the free world)
who don't believe so
that in addition to immigrants
the economy depends on women.
And please dear POTUS
of course you won't
but if you learn anything from a crowd more massive
than the one at your inauguration
or the "March 4 Trump"
the lyrics to Bob Marley's
"No Woman, No Cry"
have nothing to do
with how "sad" it is
that angry women exist.
