Our Quest For Individuality

Age-old stories of valiant queens, Joining arms, causing a rebellion, Hoping to change misogynistic minds, Bizarre beliefs, masculine dominion.

The revolt proceeds in disputes and debates With women on the frontline, fighting their fate, Craving for a voice to voice their opinion, Craving for rights to choose their companion.

They're sexualized young, yet sexual rights are shunned Taught to embrace the body entitled to others, Educated to earn but subjected to marital dependency, Encouraged to fly high, within borders of patriarchy.

Centuries passed, many battles ceased, Technology advanced, diseases eased, Yet the quest for individuality continues its fight Fixing pieces with peace, anticipating equality. -Janis Jose
