Bonaro W. Overstreet

Never heard of her? Here's a snippet of her poetry:

You say the little efforts that I make will do no good:
they never will prevail to tip the hovering scale
where justice hangs in balance.
I don't think I ever thought they would.
But I am prejudiced beyond debate
in favor of my right to choose which side shall feel
the stubborn ounces of my weight.
