Female Rights Poem by louis rams

(10/5/12)

In olden days girls had to be prepared by age eight
Learning to cook, sew, and clean house
And prepare herself for a spouse.

The only dolls that these girls knew
Was put together by straw and glue.
Then with time things did change
Dolls were made for every age.

But mans ideas stayed the same
The females still did not have any rights
But yet they was taught to fight.

Centuries have passed since that time
And yet some things remain the same
In the middle east and parts of Asia
The female rights are still in danger.

But the sexual and physical abuse
Is all over the world, and it affects
Our boys and girls.

I think it's time for the public
To stand up and fight
For the children and women s rights.
