WOMEN

In today's world
Why are women being attacked
Just because they're striving
To make a better life for themselves
Why are women being attacked 
Because they choose not to stay
In an abusive marriage or relationship
When they know that they can do better
Why are women being attacked
Because they decided that they 
Didn't want to have kids  
Having kids is not mandatory
Why are women being attacked
With date rape drugs just because of
Someone else twisted desires
Why are women being attacked
Because someone else wants to make a profit
From trafficking women
A woman and her body are not
Your property to sell, she doesn't
Have an owner
