we fought to give them freedom
freedom for love
freedom for their bodies
freedom for their lives
we were women fighting for love and freedom
we thought: what we didn't have they will have
we were so happy
we thought, what a gift
but the beautiful red apple was poisoned
and young princes and princesses died, die, will die

what was it we did wrong?
