Come On Women And Strive Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Come On Women And Strive

Rating: 5.0


I cannot cure you in your pains,
I cannot relieve you of your strains,
I cannot set aside injustice,
I cannot remove this centuries old malice,
I cannot help you in acid attacks,
I cannot keep you away from smacks,
I cannot save you from the knaves,
I cannot watch you in your graves,
I cannot empower you to cast your votes,
I cannot promote you, from your demotes,
I cannot burn the market of sex,
I am a petty poet and not an apex,
I cannot defend you, burning alive,
Unless you come on and strive.

Some women are stronger than any man! Has a man ever birthed a child naturally? That is the true definition of strength! ! !
