What's wrong?
Oct 16, 2006


What's wrong with some societies
still seing women as one's properties?
It hurts my soul to see a good friend
she needs aproval to leave her motherland.

We hear a lot about malnurition,
but what about the female circumstition?
You know how big scars it leaves behind?
Each woman is hurt deep down inside,
carries the burden for the rest of her life...

I would prescribe same circumstition
to each man allowing such thing to happen
to his sister, spouse, daughter or wife
causing so severe damage to their life.

I was told in no named country:
"You're dangerous", I asked: "why?"
The answer came: "you're smart"...
Does 'smart' mean evil's mind?

If woman has high ambitions
does she go against traditions?
If woman has big dreams
does she go against beliefs?

This is a call for equality
Plead for change of ones' mentality.
Let women have their fair share
in building better society.....

Special dedication to my female friends who had such personal experience and who were telling me their stories as well as to those, who feel and know what I am talking about.
