Shadow Mary

You gave birth to the Messiah
No one respects you
You spoke to Gabriel
People deny you
Saying you were only a tool

Where you a prophet?
Where you a nationalist?
Where you a quieted daughter?
Where you a soft-spoken wife?

You obeyed Yahweh’s call
For this some claim to Hail You
While denying your importance

Even you must suffer the consequences
Due to your fair sex
Even you are denied
Equality among men
