Certain U.S. politicians,
In
particular, one man,
Make
me angry, but at least
I
don’t live in Afghanistan.
Women
there are banned from schooling
And
whenever they’re outside,
They
must wear a full-length burqa
So
their bodies they can hide.
In
a new and worse restriction,
They
are not allowed to speak,
For
their voices heard in public
Would
arouse their leader’s pique.
Under
Taliban control, all females
Barely
have a life,
With
their only purpose being
As
a mother or a wife.
Our
Election Day is coming,
With
a woman on the slate,
Yet
for even basic freedoms,
Afghan
women have to wait.
