Stifled
When there were decisions to be made
The woman’s voice was stifled.
When there were opinions to be stated
The woman’s voice was stifled.
When there were rules to be made
The woman’s voice was stifled.
When there were thoughts to be expressed
The woman’s voice was stifled.
When there were ideas to be bandied about
The woman’s voice was stifled.
As if she were faded into the background--unimportant.
