Sheroism.

If Coco Chanel played by the rules herself

then there would be no iconic Number Five,

but ever since this mademoiselle raised Hell,

the fashion world was fiercely brought to life.

Indira Gandhi's ruthlessness

is how she rewrote India's history,

waging war for independence,

she was a state of emergency.

Dancing her way to the top of the charts,

Madonna's world tours sold out at every stop.

She used sex as a weapon to open her heart,

until she became the reigning queen of pop.

Refusing to slave another day, 

Harriet Tubman was determined to be free,

this renegade helped others run away,

on a route to the north country.

Some women prefer chains and oppression, 

so they silently accept all that is unfair.

This is why the good girls go to Heaven, 

but the bad girls go everywhere.

“waging war for independence,”

— Sheroism.
