Women’s rights : Set free our caged wings
Length of clothes always being pointed out,
Neither do we have the rights to shout!
“Sit like this”, “talk like this”
Judged upon if for a long time we are a ‘Miss’.
Who said women aren’t equal to men?
No such law has been written down with a pen!
We can work, we can dream!
We will not remain as tranquil as a woodland stream!
Periods, pregnancy, child infanticide,
Working after marriage stains our pride?
We are equal for the glory it brings,
Soar up high, to set free our ‘caged wings’!
