9: 00 Am Blue Movement Poem by Atef Ayadi

The feminist crowd
Is blocking
The streets;
Every street,
In every town,
In every county,
And in every State.
The strike is inevitable
They are shouting:

“FREE, FREE. OUR CHILDREN ARE FREE! ”
“FREE, FREE. OUR CHILDREN ARE FREE! ”

Eileen is up front,
Holding the crowd together.
A few men
Are outside,
In the same streets
Supporting
The strike,
And distributing bottles of water
And juice.
Others
Laughing … cheering with domestic beers
In bars,
In Their homes
While they are watching the news
On CNN.
