We were fed, and fattened
By the millet strewn tales;
Which swayed like barley in our minds.
Those wooded bowls of grain
That spoonfed our souls
Warmed and filled us
Until we grew whole.
But they had foretold;
The Patriarchs,
That we’d grow old
And as we did, we’d forget
That once we’d eaten, like they had
And that once, we’d too, tasted oblivion

Lyric
Womb with girls
Is looked down upon
Why slaughter her in bed?
Fresh blooms nipped
Raped and molested
Have they committed crimes?
Education
Is the right of boys
Isn't it her right, too?
Patriarchs plan
Girls are wedded off
Can't girls take decisions?
From birth to death
Girls at men's mercy
Are they forever doomed?
