Being Female in Afghanistan

Imagine being female 

In a Taliban regime,

Where equal rights do not exist

Except when women dream.


Shariah law has taken hold

With floggings taking place

For girls or women who have dared

To show the world their face.


Schools and universities

Say females can’t attend

And there’s no indication that

These rules will ever end.


In life, our paths’s determined

Partly by the place we’re born.

For women in Afghanistan,

Their chances we must mourn.
