Wake Up Women

Wake up Women! You’re capable of lighting up the world  

March forward confidently with your brilliance unfurled!

Women, you are not in any way subservient to men.           

Do you not possess the same flesh, blood, and brain?

Though it’s said, a woman was made from the rib of Adam,

Are you agreeable to lie low, under their egoistic thumb?

Men will show their handsome faces, but you may not,

You must cover your face properly, or you will be shot!

They will lead with honour, and you may walk behind,

They’ll abuse, and humiliate, but you’re not to mind!

You are Madam Curie, Rani Lakshmibai, and Kiran Bedi,

You are Anna Pavlova, Jane Austen, and Indira Gandhi.

Wake up Women to your worth, and inalienable right!

You were born to illuminate the world with your light.
