Why?



Race, religion, and nationality

Age, ability, and sexuality

There is no one size fits all strategy,

Language, mannerisms, accents, style

Why do we make women go the extra mile?

Why are women associated with tranquillity?

These limitations are no less than a tragedy,

We should not have to empower a woman’s speaking ability,

Because expression and speech are everyone’s rights.

Apparently, it's ‘do as we say’ and not ‘as we do’,

And, it seems as though we don't bother to take this route.

Most of us are forced to keep silent.

Unable to feel, unable to speak

Because we've been taught what to think

Beaten down by the rod of self-righteousness

Never ceasing, always suppressing.
