Romeo is banished
the door to love is closed,
Capulets around the world
are celebrating, to justify
locking up their daughters.
But those girls are on the march
now, choosing their own clothes,
no longer dressed in garments
of contrition.
These Juliets are just not buying
the deceit, or the lying,
and they are certainly not dying
for love unrequited, unreturned.
It’s an age thing, it’s a rage thing,
it’s a tearing up the script thing,
to change the story,
change the ending,
#julietlives is trending
as they tweet,
“Hey, there are gonna be some changes
around here.”
