A Birthing of Free Will

She was the one, the test case
the alpha, the first
who pushed the envelope
bucked the system
went her own way
and stood up to the masculine authority figure
the big man in the room
Oh yes, she did
taught Him a lesson now didn’t she
except…
He and we are paying for it
oh are we paying
work and pain and toil and sweat and
what was she thinking??
He made it oh so clear
he wasn’t kidding
he meant it
don’t do it
no, really, don’t
but she did
she took it
and gave it to him
not Him
him.
Oh boy!
