Currents Of Unfairness

Shahla Latifi

In the tender age of womanhood

I heard

I sensed

I felt the pain

The unforgivable currents of unfairness and injustice

That settled on the shore of my body and soul

 

In the tender age of womanhood

I cried

And keenly wished that tomorrow would be kinder to me

 

Behind the wall of broken dreams

A tree of energy grew each day

With that tree, I learned

I explored my mind

From the crack of dawn to the layers of moonless cloudy nights

To grow

To love

To laugh

To give

To hug

To fall

And to fly up like an eagle

As sincere as the light of dawn upon a green meadow

    There are so many places in the world where women are mistreated, not respected, abused, etc. what is it about man that treats the fairer sex this way? Hugs.

      It's sad, indeed, but fairness will always triumph.
      Thank you for the kind words.
