The Cranium and Premium of Injustice

Take society’s attitude Towards indifference as given Although women abhor gratitude For societal foibles forgiven In the face of the Christian faith That burns within a woman’s soul When Providence breath Scores a salutary goal In consonance with the motto One cheek slapped, the other cheek slapped In a pilgrimage grotto Where 2Pac rapped All eyes on me As though a woman were leper Society loved to hate with glee Alongside a pauper with no caper To boast of In the sight of men Who grudgingly brandish love As an inducement to women Treated with contempt Used, oppressed, dumped In a haughty attempt To get machismo start-jumped In the full bloom of the sickness and ugliness That womanhood suffers In huge doses of humiliation and sadness With no compensatory offers For remorse unfelt Hair tousled and unkempt Expectations raised and unmet In an egregious event and attempt To gloss over injustices Unleashed on the fairer gender In equinoxes and solstices That demand women’s surrender Although the new millennium Demands fairness In the cranium and premium For women’s unstinting happiness with boldness.
