I crave a civilization where women

No other woman will disdain,

Where lust will sanctify the soil

And no harmony will its passageways refrain

I crave a civilization where all

Will know pure equality’s way,

Whither empathy no longer exhausts the spirit.  

Nor greed exterminates our day.

A civilization I dream where women,

Whichever class you may be,

Will parcel the yields of the soil

And every one of you is independent,

Whereabout prejudice will cut its wrists

And euphoria, like a sparkle,

Attends the fascinations of all womankind-

Of such I crave, my civilization!

This is one of my favorite pieces, I wrote this when I was learning about the suffrage movement in my history class.
