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
