And I will mourn

Until wives are no longer raped in their marital bed

Until women are no longer accosted on the streets and forced into dark alleys

Until girls are no longer sexualized by the men they should trust

Until no child is forced to witness the assault of their mother by their fathers hand

I will wear black 

And I will mourn

Until women around the world can go to school, drive a car, vote 

Until serial rapists are not elected into the highest post of the land

Until our bodies become ours again

I will wear black

And I will mourn

Until every platform profiting from exploitation is dismantled.

Until every dark chat room of 70,000 men is exposed and destroyed

Until every sexual captive is set free

Until sex trafficking is a dark stain on our past

Until exploitation is no longer a currency of power.

I will wear black

And I will mourn

Until our fathers, see us again

Until our brothers, see us again

Until our sons, see us again

Until every woman is free

I will wear black

And i will mourn
