[POEM] – Is It a Crime To Be A Girl?

Is it a crime to be a girl?

For these people judge my every move

How I walk, how I talk or how I see things

They always whisper and make an issue

Is it a crime to be a girl?

For I am not safe anywhere alone

Their hungry eyes rip my self-esteem

And in the end, the blame is on me

Can I not travel or work in peace?

Am I prisoner that needs to be seized?

Is it a crime to be a girl?

For I can not say NO to their ugly needs?

No matter how much I cover up myself

They find a way to destroy my virtue

Is it a crime to be a girl?

For I can not ask them a few questions

In schoolcollege or university

I am bound by several restrictions

“No! You are girl” is what they always say

As if being a girl is a matter of shame

So I need to know

Today, right now

Am I just born to satisfy your wants?

To give birth to men just like you?

To wash your dirty laundry?

 

So tell me all, you

 wise men

Is it a crime to be a girl?
