NO

A woman shouted, "No".
A "man" shouted back, "Whore.
"Women shouted, "No."
And "men" shouted back, "Whores."

Women, cloaked in the garb of "whoredom,"sang the anthem of "No" louder with the wind.

The "men" of the tribe of violation,
seed of ignorance,
chieftains of dark history,
banned "No" in their laws.

Yet in every spring, the flower of “No” bloomed everywhere.
Lovers gifted each other the branch of "No."
"No" became the first word on the tongues of newborns,
"No" became the last message on the lips of the condemned,
"No" became the steadfast poem of the free,
"No" became the heroic stand of the oppressed.

"No" was the secret name of woman.
