'They say women are supposed to be kept low But isn't it them who talk about us They say they control when we come and go Until it's our name that comes out of their mouth like a cuss' 'They tell us to keep quiet And so we do, yet we get the pain They blame us when we start a riot and then watch us fall like rain' "Just because we're women doesn't mean we're not human Yet we're silently abused again and again They'll stare as we walk past the crewman' 'Or perhaps you forgot that you had a mother, sister, or daughter and treat us asif  we're something to be bought Then dispose of us like we're waste water. 'Tell us to stay low, but what about those who are the reason for a daughter's death? won't listen to us when we said 'No' watched as she drew her last breath.' 'Tell us to keep quiet to rely on the strong ones Waiting for my knight until I saw your sons'

Death is Louder
Oh sweet little girl Wont you open your eyes Wont you wake up, Rise and Shine. Oh sweet little girl Wont you watch your tongue don't be so vocal or else you'll be shunned. Oh sweet little girl Hold your head high Have a straight back With shoulders wide. Oh sweet little girl Don't play in the mud Your shoes will be ruined, Don't mess with the bugs. Oh sweet little girl You study so hard Your effort is noted But your grades are subpar. Oh sweet little girl Don't travel alone There's people at night Who want to take you home. Oh sweet little girl How you've grown You're a women now With a mind of your own. Oh little women How your drive, drives you. How you reach for the stars Even with lips turning blue. Oh little women That's not what we said Don't speak your mind You're bringing up dread. Oh little women Leave that feather on the ground Leave that bug on the bush. There's nothing to be found. Oh young women Your voice is to loud The chaos you're causing is shaking the ground. Oh young women You're choices are bold They're for to strong. Listen to what you've been told. Ma'am We've asked you to stop We've told you again and again. You seem to not listen Your will wont give in. Your voice is to loud Your hair isn't right You are far to willing to pick a fight. You play with nature You say as you please You're breaking the parameters of what we believe. Ma'am It's time to settle down It's time to fit in Stop all this ruckus And follow the rules you've been given. "These rules have been botched The've been slashed through with red X. The women are rising, And trust me you're next. We are coming up from the rubble, From the ash and the dirt, We come with a vengeance, Someones bound to get hurt. We've suffered and begged, For your ears to open, Yet you brush away our please Refusing diplomacy. So we come with our swords, Our flames rising high We come with our voices Screaming out towards the sky." -ALC Dec 11, 2019

Girl to Women

Women are Human
Me Too, My body, My soul, My voice, Which you never see, feel and hear, All never provoke you to smash me, Again and again, Yes Me too, Faced the same as many like me faced from the birth till death! By; Nida Mahmoed

I Am Woman
70 years of supposed independence Yet no real freedom for women In a society dominated by men Drowned, is a woman's voice We need Azadi from Patriarchy Money and power aren't everything Without love, life is nothing Above all, are relationships and life quality Is there no end to **** Why is marital **** legal? Our system is so feudal Marriage is such a shame Marred by domestic violence Divorce, a traumatic experience No freedom to choose her career Family is supposed to be better No freedom for inter-religious marriage If she does, it's labelled Love Jihad Frankly, we are tired Demand an end to this carnage She can dress as she pleases She can roam at night She can marry anyone she loves To question her, you have no right

We need Azadi from Patriarchy
Woman is not born to seal her lips, Woman is not born to never speak about her rights, dreams, desires, and her songs, Let her speak, Let her sing her songs, don’t seal her lips, don’t frantic from her songs, Her songs won’t make you small, hurt, and broken! By; Nida Mahmoed
