I am a silenced woman, No one hears my cries in the Arab world, My spirit is broken, My freedom is not bought by a silver token.
I have been silenced by my family, My voice is gone by the beatings Of fathers, brothers, and husbands. I don't feel the will to live Because of the hardships of my life, I feel like putting myself under the knife.
I live under tyranny; My rights have been taken away, And I feel I will never get my voice, And in my lifetime rejoice.
I want to be heard, And have people see that oppressing me is absurd. I wait for the chance to have my voice heard, And end this oppression. And give Arab women some expression.
I am a woman, And I should have my voice, And my choice; And the Taliban should not suppress it.

Snoozin, I am not an arab woman, but I was writing a poem about how I think that some of them might feel. I thought the taliban was part of what caused the problems for arab women. I just that Debt will not be happy about this poem. Maybe this poem will wake him up.

Snoozin, I know women get treated bad everywhere. I should not have said the arab women, then. I read an article about baby girls being aborted in India because they were not wanted. The ratio of boys to girls is lopsided because of this. I don't think the girls in Cameroon should have their breasts ironed to keep them small so they don't face rape. The women in India should not get groped in the streets. The japanese women should not get molested, either. I would love to stop all of this.
