Why do you weep girl
why did they clip your wings
imprison your spirit
Why do you weep woman
why did they torture you
tear your tender body apart
like petals from a flower;
Is being born a girl
the only sin you committed!
Weep no more my child
Weep no more woman
for no fault of yours.
Raise your voice
from your
bruised and tattered mind
shout out loud for all to hear!
Emboldened and empowered
rise up like a phoenix bird
from the ashes of suppression..

Thank you dear Poet😍
Well written. Yeah agree women needs to stay bold and society also needs to help her forget it.

So true Jayasree but that strength is within so that ladies will be able to rise from that oppression and bring wonder to the world.

Yes. Andy , you are right. Perfectly so. ☺
Empowering!
what a great message and poetry
its most suitable platform,
for how many love poems have been written in antiquity and today, ignoring the plight of our beloved ladies..
