I find myself in a patriarchal cage,
Bound with shackles of men in power Wings with equal feathers, a dream Of a gone-by age. I look with deep cuts inflicted by male superiors Discrimination and bias being society's rules, Where freedom to shine only brings back melancholy Of the torment on today's women - a mule. With not an ounce of difference in capabilities, Why then are we considered inferior? Handed rolling pins and laptops thrown away It's time for our fury to make this system sway. It's not hatred for men but desire for equality To bridge the distance between the binary With trust in the impartial messiah We'll make our barren future flowery - 'tis a promise by society's female pariah. Together we'll make our voices heard, Break this cage and fly a free bird With dreams and hopes high, I'll run free from this male herd.
