The feministic warA Poem by TheSufferingThe women that no one seems to talk about
You see, everyone talks about how women should be treated
Almost everyone talks about how they should not be discriminated against They talk about not wanting disgusting eyes on their body They talk about how they don't want their dirty minds imagining them for lust They talk about higher payments And these all ARE valid points But you see, very few talk about those women that are locked up You very rarely see them talk about those wearing the black You barely see any uproar about the young girls being killed in the name of honor You very rarely see, how they trade 13 year old girls's lives to pedophiles You barely see their eyes tearing up with blood Under that black prison garment They say you should respect their culture You fight for feminism, shouting so loud and ignore the rights of those woman, who are not even allowed a voice Because they use culture and religion as their weapon To take that voice away You don't hear the voice of Nasrin Sotoudeh Screaming in pain in the prison of Iran You don't hear about the brave women of Saudi That get locked up and raped for criticizing THEIR stupid ways of interpreting Islam You can't see the bruises under that bloody and black garment You are not allowed to hear their screams when they are beheaded Because in THEIR way of Islam, their virginity is all these young girls are worth We need to fight for them Wherever they might me You cannot hear the screams of Fadime Shahindal, being murdered By her family, for falling in love with someone her family did not choose You cannot hear the voice of the women in South America, fighting for the right to decide over their own bodies So, for you claiming to be feminists, living in freedom In a country where the state at least sees rape as evil A country that doesn't legally require you to have a male guardianship A country that lets you work A country that let's you be responsible for your own life Think of those women that are screaming for help, dying for the rights that you have. My criticism is not about the religion of Islam But those who use it to preform evil acts Religions should never get in the way of freedom of speech and individual rights Either it be Islam, Christianity of Judaism So, you feminists that DO have a voice Come on now Stand up and shout With the voice of EVERY woman that is not allowed to have a voice. Stand up for woman's rights all over the world. Stand up against forced Hijab Stand up against Sharia laws Stand up against the dictatorship in Saudi-Arabia Stand up against the Islamic regime in Iran Stand up against female genital mutilations in Africa and Kurdistan Stand up for woman's rights to make their own choices Remember, if you have a voice, you are free to shout. Remember, if you can be heard, someone might come to help you But if you are not allowed that voice Your soul will turn black, just like that black garment. Also, DO be proud of the rights that you DO already have.
