Finally wrote something good after 4 months
Women
“What have women done so far?”
Is this truly a question one should ask?
Bear the eyes of a child and enlighten your heart,
To understand the agony and anguish they've endured from the start.
How foolish these women are to sacrifice their dreams and desires
For the pleasures of those who can't even replenish their hearts?
A sun that gives up its own spark to brighten your darkest home
Is none other than the person you lovingly call your mom.
Wear a mask of smiles, and you'll soon realise
How worthless it is to surround yourself with friends
Who can't even recognise your fake laughter and smiles.
Unless you have someone who can bring your lost spark back,
A root beneath your branches, helping you bear the burden you lack.
No matter how much you fight or hold grudges against each other,
You'll always run back to her when life gets a little tougher.
A companion through every phase of life, no matter what may come
A sibling in every sense of the word, that's your sister.
Someone who has to sacrifice something in almost everything,
Even when they're killed, sexually assaulted, or raped,
All because a weak man becomes a prisoner of his own lust,
Resulting in women being forced to roam within their own home cages.
Can we really call it justice when we tell them to adjust to it?
Wait, don't those preyed upon also live in these so-called sanctuaries?
For how long are we going to question women about their own safety,
When it's high time we questioned those men about their morality?
Have we stooped so low that, to empathise with our fellow beings,
We must first imagine our loved ones enduring the same sufferings?
