There once was a woman named Patty. She worked as a chef and was chatty. One day she got fired, Cooked meat that expired. She never again made a patty.

Every day, you endured. The master raped you again And again, with no regard For you. You bore his children. You told his daughter—silence. You tried to stop him—and then They accused you of violence. So they sentenced you to hang. You did not have self-defense Because you were a body. They did put on a pretense— That you ever had a chance.

Oh, they’ve made you a footnote! Obscuring your name, Claudette. But you are here, and not remote. You did not give up your seat. Oh, they said you were too young! And—an unmarried mother. But you stood up and went unsung. Men’s faces on the movement. Unjust that we deemed you wrong! Cops made suggestive remarks; Harassment on the ride along. Yet still you stood tall and strong.

Omega cannot define her power Lightning, tornadoes, hurricanes, and blizzards— Are all at her fingertips, tall as a tower. And she wields the magic of sorceresses and wizards. She can turn sunlight to lasers, And she was a Queen once, long ago too. As a mortal Logan struggled with his razors, She gave light to his world when it turned to blue. She can even control the weather in space And literally take your breath away. Brought herself up in Cairo but she found her place To learn mercy and forgiveness as the rightful way.
