Surname Poem by Shafna Shamsuddin

Brother mine
I hold a name as that of thine
For you, its divine
For me somehow entwine

Worlds revere the name
And grant you rights beyond finite
Yet my right stands in rein
For the name carries a burden
Just for women of my kind

Brother mine
You love me just fine
Yet to this undue amiss
How do you turn a visor on?

This name we share
The one that is divine
How can it mean you a gain,
And a burden of mine?
