born a woman...



I  was  born  a  woman,
Was  asked  to  hide  my  face,
My eyes  suppose  to  be  set  on  the  ground,
Household  my  fate!

I  eschewed  the  battles,
The  rebels  I  was  suppose  to  stoke,
My  brothers  were  far  more  educated,
While  I  learned  to  stay  quiet.

Then  I  saw  one  unlike  me,
 Heretic  and  blatant,
Bit  paler  then  usual,
She  was  doomed  and  died  of  hunger.

Here  I  stand  before  her  grave,
and  I  see  her  smile,
She  was  a  woman  unwilling  to  accept  her  fate,
Its  a  better  place  where  she  resides!
