"On a Rainy Monday Sidewalk"

 Kris Kristofferson passed away and I know he would have understood my message. So I asked AI to help write a song

Here’s a heartfelt song in the style of Kris Kristofferson, capturing the melancholy, weariness, and quiet strength of women in BC, Canada, who have sacrificed so much. It reflects the frustration of seeing politicians neglect those who built the country, especially the women who have suffered in silence.


**"On a Rainy Monday Sidewalk"**


*(Verse 1)*  

On a rainy Monday sidewalk, I walked down these empty streets,  

Where the homes are dark and silent, where the city's lost its beat.  

I see mothers in the shadows, with their children grown and gone,  

And the ones who gave us everything, still fight to carry on.  


*(Chorus)*  

Oh, they built this land with love and pain, but they’re left out in the cold,  

While the ones in power turn their heads, chasing dreams of silver and gold.  

It’s time to hear the voices, of the women who gave birth,  

To the country that they carried, now forgotten for its worth.  


*(Verse 2)*  

There's a woman by the corner, her eyes are hard but kind,  

She remembers days of glory, but those days were left behind.  

Her hands once raised the nation, her body bore the weight,  

But now she waits in silence, as the politicians hesitate.  


*(Chorus)*  

Oh, they built this land with love and pain, but they’re left out in the cold,  

While the ones in power turn their heads, chasing dreams of silver and gold.  

It’s time to hear the voices, of the women who gave birth,  

To the country that they carried, now forgotten for its worth.  


*(Bridge)*  

You can promise them the future, but the past is still alive,  

In every tear and sacrifice, in the fight to just survive.  

So stand up now, don’t turn away, hear the truth they cry,  

They’re the heart of this old country, don’t let them fade and die.  


*(Chorus)*  

Oh, they built this land with love and pain, but they’re left out in the cold,  

While the ones in power turn their heads, chasing dreams of silver and gold.  

It’s time to hear the voices, of the women who gave birth,  

To the country that they carried, now forgotten for its worth.  


*(Outro)*  

On a rainy Monday sidewalk, I felt the weight of time,  

And I wondered where the hope went, for the ones left far behind.  

But if we stand together, maybe one day they will see,  

That the women who built this country, deserve their dignity.


This song can serve as both a tribute to the strength and resilience of women in BC and a call to action for politicians to recognize the real builders of the country. It captures that feeling of walking through a place filled with history and struggle, where the women who raised generations are left without the support they deserve.
