This is a woman’s world

This is a woman’s world.

We make ourselves big, In places that are too small,

Asserting our authority in all matters, so that we may stand tall.

 

We pass judgements about the other sexes and restrict their rights,

Through weaponising our femininity to win our fights.

 

We speak on matters that aren’t our concern, just to have our say

Risking the mental well-being of everyone, all in just a day.

 

We rob jobs, just because of our gender and demand a rise for just that,

If a man speaks up about the injustice.. we just simply attack.

 

Your body, your choice? What a pathetic town cry.

We’ll murder  your bodily autonomy, without an alibi.

 

Street corners are our havens, we patrol them with no fear.

We enjoy this world freely, without a shudder of thought or care.

 

While you contrive sophisticated plans, just to ensure your safety,

We shout at you and demand you stop being hasty.

 

An Uber ride for you, is supposedly such an ‘ordeal’,

Well maybe you men should stop looking soo good, and just keep them lips sealed.

 

Sounds funny right?

But, this is a woman’s world right?

 

Where we are treated equally in everything we have…

And where our opportunity’s are endless, with no segregation gender gap.

 

 

I wish this was a woman’s world, where we had all the power.

Unfortunately, that is just a dream…in a world where I am seen as just a coward.

 

This is a woman’s world,

Where I am the second line.

 

It would nice to be the first line for once,

To finally live as a gender where my body is not a crime!
