Fix your dress they said
For until your dowry is paid
Your thighs belong in the dark
Only beneath your skirts can they lark.
Don't speak back to your brother
Your tongue should never bother
Dare spew whatever your mind births
Remain silent during your stay on earth.
Endure your cramps without a word
You also need to hide your sanitary pads
Try concealing that feminity shame
Or you will never be looked at the same.
It's undeniably your fault if
Your body is ever tampered with
Probably your dress showed too much
Tempting even the holiest to touch.
Women were born to persevere
Created to absorb abuse and fear
You are expected to play your part
Society awaits this patriarchal act.
Your existence can never be placid
Constant weigh in on your value added
Kindly ready your fragile womb too
Our future demands human zoos.
