The Feminine Flames of Freedom
Freedom does be a common thing for the common lot
Freedom does be our given due
Freedom of expression, freedom of speech
Freedom of choice, freedom of thought
Freedom does be crucial for all of humankind
But it does be more so, specially for us, the feminine species, since we are dolls
Dolls made of fuss
Dolls being frail, dolls being easily used and abused
Freedom does be for us, the right to say no
The right to voice out our fears
The right to be taken into consideration
The right to be taken on board, on the same boats as the men
Freedom does be for us, the right of respect
The right to see life from our own perspective
The right to make a mess and regret
Or the right to make a mess and feel wonderful about it
Freedom does be the reverence of our own bodies
Why, is it a must to make babies
If we wish not to,
If we do feel good as we are
Freedom does be the right to peace
Indeed, wars and battles do be our fort
But peace does relieve our inner voice
So much that we do cherish it so much
Freedom does be the right to ignite flames
Should we deem it needful to
Should we deem that we are being threatened
Or even if we are being cheated upon
Freedom does be the right to be ourselves
Modern girls in a modern world
Girls free to drink, to dance, to walk as we do deem to
Girls free to love, to hate, to feel, to cry and even to laugh
Freedom does be a thing so common for the common lot
But for us dolls, we do have a price to pay for freedom
For controlled we always are by those other beings
Those beings made of ego and lust, who do claim to be so superior
Freedom does be everything
Freedom does be the cause of life
Freedom does be it
Freedom does be made of feminine flames!
Flames of freedom,
Blown by the prevailing winds
Shall reach each and every corner of the world
Indeed, for such do we all await!
