ranting and raving, canting and craving.

ranting and raving,
canting and craving.

the lobbying seems pointless, the cause lost.
the fight for women's rights at your own family's cost.
now i crave to be a present mother and wife,
the political struggles no longer my life.

the children grow fast, as you know,
all time without them, is a seed i don't sow.
I crave to be with them, and learn their ways
To be present for each part of their day.

I want to look back and know i was there,
rather than sitting always in this chair.
Activism is great, we should speak out,
teach the kids what it's all about.
