Not a Whimper

TW: R*pe, m*rder

Feminism — not a yahoodi saazish, nor an attempt at westernization
An attempt at gaining some sort of autonomy, some respect, some basic dignity
But you wouldn’t understand.
You, who are so privileged
Able to go wherever you want, whenever you want
Able to exist
Safely.
One step forward, five steps backwards every day (keep going, don’t lose hope!)
Raped, pillaged, murdered every day (keep going, don’t lose hope!)
Treated like a site of violence every day (keep going, don’t lose hope!)
Angering men by our very existence every day (keep going, don’t lose hope!)
How long until we get the right to life
Do we have to wait until we’re all drowning in this wasteland, victims of men’s egos
While the same men escape their sins once again
Leaving
Leaving as usual, to another country, another continent, another planet
Leaving us behind to deal with their mess
When will Nature say Enough and decide to self-combust instead of letting these fools run amok on Her
Unlike what Eliot said -
(ending) with a bang, not a whimper.
