women have known oppression
and dare to say "no more"

women have known exploitation
and dare to say "no more"

women have known violence
and dare to say "no more"

and so it is
from feminist tradition

we take the dialogic way
of listening in good faith

to others in oppression
who yearn for ontological hope

of leading us all in
illocutionary discourse

that we may come to understand
and live in difference

and say "no more"
