2 A WESTERN WOMAN

When u look at me all you can see is the scarf that covers my hair

My words u can't hear because you're too full of fear

U think it's not my own choice, in your own "liberation" you rejoice

You're not me you think I'm uneducated, trapped, oppressed and subjogated

You're so thankful that u are free-but Western women you;re got it wrong

-you're the weak and I'm the strong for I've rejected the trap of man

Fancy clothes-low-neck,short skirt, these are devices for pain & hurt

I'm not falling for that little plan.

Alwayz jumping to the male agenda, competing on his terms

No job share, no creche facilities, no feeding & napping changing amenities.

No time off for menstrual pain-"hormones"

They laugh "What a shame."

No equal pay for equal skill-your job they can alwayz fill.

No promotion unless you're sterilized

No promotion unless you're sexually terrorized & is this liberation???

i'm a person with ideas & thought, I'm not 4 sales, i can't be bought

I won't decorate anyone's arm, nor be promoted for my charm

There's more 2 me than playing coy

Living life as a balancing game-mother,daughter,wife,nurse,cleaner,cook,lover-

And still bring home a wage.

Who thought up this modern "freedom"

Where man can love'em &man can leave'em

This is not free but life in a cage

Western women u can have your life

Mine-it has less strife.

I cover & I get respected surely that's to be excepted-

for I won't demean the feminine
