Not Only For Afghan Girls

Girls what are you waiting for?

Finish them who told you to dress to escape rape.

Finish them who told you to dress for the savior.

Finish them who told you not to learn.

Finish them who told you not to earn.

Finish them who told that you are soft.

Finish them who told you that you are hot.

Finish them who want you to be slaves for them.

Finish them who told you are not pure.

Finish them who created rules for you.

Finish them who want you to be holy.

Finish them who want you to be religious.

Finish them who sell and buy love in the market.

Finish the market that trades weapons.

Finish the society that encourages rule of money.

Finish the humanity that’s forgotten love.

Can you do that girl?

I know that you are scared since they taught you

That everything is fair in love and war.

Yes, they love war – from mountains to seas everywhere.

Your world will be demolished time and again

If it clashes with their profit and power.

They will not help you if you demand beyond

Their sense of justice.

But now you have seen the epitome of frustration.

Can you define yourself girl without fear?

Remember they love money, power and war.
