#1 Slut, Bitch, Whore and Many More
If a woman sleeps with a man
when she’s unmarried
she is a slut
who has no value in a society
if a woman denies to sleep with a man
she is a whore
with no body
if she loves another woman
she is a sinner
for our country
if she is dark
she is a black night
with no right
if she is infertile
she is the one
without a womb
if she is self made
she is a bitch
ruling a world dominated by men
if she knows how to swear
she is a witch
without any respect
if she is a woman with dignity
snatch it from her
she is not worthy of it
if she is a woman who loves her freedom
take it away from her
or else, you might lose control of her
if she is a woman of purity
rape her
she doesn’t deserve it
if she is a woman
control her
she is a puppet
you all got us wrong.
dear society,
not every prostitute is bad
some have their reasons
not every self made woman
dominates all men
not every woman is a slut
not every woman is a whore
we may not be same
we may be different
we may be with body or without a body
but we are humans too
please respect us
respect our thoughts
just like we respect yours.
#2 The Prince and his Moon
He waited for her,
Called her his moon.
He cried for her,
Pleaded with her to meet him soon.
He prayed to find,
Someone like his imaginary moon.
He kneeled down,
To find someone like her soon.
When the moon will come in his life,
All darkness will vanish.
He will live without empathy or love,
And will get a beautiful wife.
Moon admired his famish over his wants,
Thought of giving him his moon.
Moon sent a girl of his dreams,
Shiny, and beautiful.
Moon thought he will be happy,
Late at night he sent the princess.
Wrapped in a qipao,
Hoping this will probably make him happy!
The prince became happy for his princess,
But when she came closer,
He rejected her and called her a loser,
Because of the scars the moon gave her.
And this is what he wanted:
A princess like the moon.
But shiny like moon,
Not with scars like the moon.
Moon became angry,
Cursed him forever.
He won’t get his wife,
He won’t live a happy life.
