The story goes on from
Mouth to mouth
From generation to
Generation
Without being written
The story of women
In confinement
The women
Creating, raising
Nurturing
In bondage
Married for life
Beyond life
While men gather
Agitate protest
The biggest protest
In human history
Men raise their voices
About unfairness
Of various issues
Women stand by
Their men
Their sons
Giving their blessings
While tied
Bonded
In unfairness
Inequality
Why do they
Keep the home fires burning
Why do they not
Burn
Their houses down
Along with
Their children
and men
Why do they not
Retaliate, agitate
Protest
Women love
They give
They forgive
For the sake
Of humans
To survive
To flourish
To thrive
Not go extinct.
