Jessica 2.0

There will be other
Jessicas out there...
 
crazy women who  
would rather  
 
be suicidally honest
then cower  
...and tiptoe  
on eggshells  
 
Women who
already have been  
pushed around
by bullies
 
...women who  
rather not
live in shame
or end themselves
like cowards
 
Neither will they  
bow before  
a butcher block...
 
If guns are drawn  
on Jessica 2.0  
...as threats are made  
 
over what she said
 
No one will  
wait...
 
trusting deceptive  
gestures of friendliness  
 
No one will  
wait...
 
for a hunting license
to take out
 
the monsters
