Aren`t you women
Weren`t you loved and cared for
By those you called family
How dare they be grieved?
How dare they ask you to leave?
To not be a part of
This society, your family
You have every right
Like most of us do
How dare they treat you
The way they do
You are a mother, a sister
The mistress of a mister
You are the root of a tree
You were given lives
So you may give life
So who dare interfere with
God`s flow of life
You are strong
Your strength is uncontestable
You are smart
But they say you are not sociable
Aren`t you humans?
And if they treat you like animals
Aren`t we all God`s creatures
You look sad
But tears is a language
God understands
So clear your eyes of the tears
Throw them on the ground
Throw them at the dehumanizers
Throw them here, there
And everywhere
Some day you will find peace
So be strong
Because it won`t be long
They will want to smile with you
They will want to hug you, touch you
And know who you are
But pity their feeble minds
If they don`t remember
That you were that little girl, that woman
One who was never cared for, loved
Or accepted to be a part of a family
In their neglectful society
