Being Female In Afghanistan
Imagine being female
In a Taliban regime,
Where equal rights do not exist,
Except when women dream.
Shariah law has taken hold,
With floggings taking place
For girls or women who have dared
To show the world their face.
Schools and universities
Say females can’t attend
And there’s no indication that
These rules will ever end.
In life, our path’s determined
Partly by the place we’re born.
For women in Afghanistan,
Their chances we must mourn.
