A warrior, a woman

( a poem inspired by Lozen, a female Apache warrior) Her blood boils just like a mans Her thirst for honor , the way she stands She refused to bow She refused to cower Her bloodlust was justified As the shield of her valor Against the greatest odds She knew no fear She supported and fought along side her brother, chief For so many years A brilliant strategist She outsmarted U.S. military might She left a blood trail behind her And her people's freedom in her sights Never humbled, never kneeled Never really defeated, never to yield I am inspired by her strenth and for freedoms' right That no man was her equal in battle and in life.
