The Burqua Revolt

Wives, mothers,
Stand at the gates,
Uncovered visages louder
Than the sanctimony
Around us.
We few
Stand silent
Heads high.
All revolutions
Begin or end,
Rise or fall
This way,
With
We few.





33 words, and one of them must be a palindrome. My palindrome is 'we few'. It reminds me of Band of Brothers, the awesome book and miniseries. Except that I wonder if women could start a revolution somewhere, how they might take that step. Because I'm weird like that.

Revolution

It's time.

Time to

Step off this loop

We've called our lives.

Let's

Pour honey on the gears,

Shift this paradigm

Off the axis, and

Topple the old gods

Who've led us astray.





On to the weekend prompt.  This weekend we are asking for exactly 33 words, 30 of your own and three of the following:

topple     paradigm     underneath     nerve     honey     loop

I used four, sorry.
