Today the women march on Washington,
so many voices joined in one great cry,
that all might find respect and dignity.
They take a stand not only for themselves,
but for the disenfranchised and abused
of every creed, identity, and race.
They march in strength and solidarity,
for everyone must have an even chance.
They march for opportunity for all.
The ideals of forgotten dreams still call,
and like an army all must raise alarm
until it roars a million voices strong.
They will not let the flame of freedom die.
They light the torch to shelter future souls,
with liberty, equality and hope.

I would like to translate this poem
Have a lot of friends going from Asheville, N.C. Hope they have success and your lovely poem is a rallying cry!
I'm in Sarasota now until April, and I didn't think that maybe they would get the support they needed here. Marianne
Thank you Marianne. I could not participate for health reasons but the March in Sarasota was a great success.
