Another Dead Ms. (8-28-18)

Women are refused solitude

Though we wish to be

Alone in a glen, or a library

We are harrassed and followed

Jeered at, insulted

(Is it possible to have a man catapulted?)

We have asked to be left alone

We politely plead and angrily shout

We have to be armed whenever we go out

And just when you feel safe

A man will demand a kiss

A new headline appears- another dead Ms.
