Not Now
For long we have sailed in the river of sadness
When and how questions caressing the lips
The nostrils sniffing the odor of violence
Like a country in which average age is deceased
We waited for the day this will be abolished
Smoke of restless wailing to heavens
We wished but to see it end
Beauty too rich
Now nothing but like a withered flower
Face panel beaten with his merciless blows
What wrong did she do?
From where is the anger to punish innocent souls?
With the libido that consider no compatibility
Then yes but not now
Our young girls and women need peace
We now say no to gender based violence
Let tears of joy erode wrinkles off our sad faces
Out of the jungle of fear into the world of hope
A world quarried with women empowerment
Coated in the gold coat of girl education improvement
