We live in a world,
where the length of my skirt,
is more important
than the knowledge in my head.
Where my shoulders are distracting,
but cat calls,
are just compliments.
Where annually,
tampons cost almost as much as a handgun.
And you think that society has won?
In this world,
where a man can hit a woman,
so she realizes her place.
While the children in Nigeria,
have blood
splattered on their face.
And you dare to wonder?
Oh poor you.
You dare to wonder,
why women and children
are so shielded.
Afraid to let their guard down,
never yielding.
Tell me,
have you ever asked why?
Questioned the world,
and all the elements of it?
I have.
And it's not,
what you think it is.
