She

She was born of a woman,
And grows to attain her womanhood;
But succumbing to the societal man,
She loses her childhood;
She desires and craves for a world of her own,
But fails to get it, and all her choices, gone;

Does only child-bearing qualify her motherhood,
Or the family-rearing from her childhood?

Harder and harder on all kinds of soil;
She happily does it, with all her heart,
With no regrets, she does her part;

All summed-up in pain from bed to grave,
All she does is just for her dear ones to be safe;

When the green kept deteriorating,
The world remained silent;
When bombings shake the earth,
The world remains silent;
When discrimination is on the rise,
The world remains silent;

Silent! Silent! Silent!
Silent all the time;
Silent! Silent! Silent!
Even when her people whined;
When will the world ever speak,
Against the injustices that are at the peak?
