Just not (speeches and elections)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just not 
speeches and elections
our own Women’s Day is
a radio fellow expounds 
like he needs to convince
someone out there<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just not 
though most 
to be heard is 
often same old story 
often same old song<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(and for some reason
a bigwig male-head
does an official advert
saying “all racial groups” 
were at that historic March)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just not 
politicians politicking
preying on the moment
feeding on the moment
angling for a sound-byte<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are we all talk 
the world over
at a time of a pandemic
and Gender-Based Violence<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and SA’s Women’s Month
where women are free
where women are not
where women are not yet<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are we alone
unique at that<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See, too: “OPINION: What are we really celebrating this Women\u2019s Day<\/a>?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
