International Women's Day Joke
You little girl,
What will you be?
A princess, a lawyer,
dive deep in the sea?
Perhaps you'll be rich,
A mum to twins,
A lass on the check-out
Scanning our tins.
What do your parents
want for you?
To be happy and healthy,
To be loved too.
But some little girls
don't have this luck.
Dragged through the mud,
the rubbish and muck.
Enslaved from their youth,
Raped at nine,
Babies cut from them
As they scream and pine.
Forced into sex work,
Genitals cut.
Stealing and begging.
Life in a rut.
Wishing escape,
Dead in a lorry.
We all see pictures
And we all feel sorry.
You little girl
Haunting me.
International Women's Day?
No ... until you're free.
