How Far Have We Come?

"Please consider this quote by Gloria Steinem to inspire you:"

When you’re lucky enough to have lived

a long life, as I have done, your role

is to remind us how far we have come.

–Gloria Steinem

We were doing well.

Now our steps forward are blocked.

A change is needed.

We came too far to forget,

some live to impede freedoms.
