The Hands of Handmaidens
written by: Alex Andy Phuong
An offering for Offred
To become a handmaiden,
Charmian and Iris
Assisting the Siren of the Nile,
And there is no denial
About the power
Of helping hands,
And the willingness to create
Can make people appreciate
The beauty of supporting one another
In a world unlike any other,
So strive for a utopian ideal
Rather than worry about
All that is real
While never speculating
About speculative fiction
To create a greater reality,
Hopefully without friction
