In the season of my womanhood
there's a trace of sovereignty;
My universal anthem states:
"I am chartered, zoned and free!"
A Motherland of dignity
Unilaterally by birth;
My country's led autonomously
to honor my self-worth.
There in winter's aristocracy,
her emblematic banners wave;
Unhooked my breasts from bondage,
I am woman, not a slave.
As Summer comes to womanhood
one rib the cage we bore;
No more to shelve me, sell me, whore me
I am solid seasoned wood.
From the Springtime womb of womanhood
to the shores of liberty;
Sacred ground reclaims its motherland
Impenetrable, proud, free.
Eternal seed of womanhood
Unique among all form;
Fall's shadow casts a giant
As mother-love is born.
In the Seasons of my Womanhood
On my lands reign sovereignty;
I proclaim it Universally
"I am chartered, zoned and free!"

I Like It!!
This surely fits in with what I asked for. It’s not light weight but it’s not heavy. No death except to slavery. I suspect you will do well in my contest.
