Blinded by the past and silenced by the future

Jackie De Klerk

 

Blinded by the past 

and silenced by the future, 

the women had no power.

 

Sarrveshwaran

In a male dominated society,
A woman loses her identify.
Except maybe get addressed
as the WIFE,
Or the child’s MOTHER.

 

Sarrveshwaran

Her right to speak and see.
Is SAFE behind the family tree!?
All her life she shall be free,

In grooming up and looking after the tree.

 

But beyond that, she could not leave the tree.
She would never fly for her dreams with wings.
She would not see the world and its things.
‘Cause she is fettered by family and she’s free only to what family brings.
And a identity for herself doesn’t come under such things.

 

 

Jessica Jane

With her sight taken by him 

and to have no voice to be heard 

by using a child to keep her quiet.

 

Faith Dunsmuir

 

Like father like son, 

both silencing the woman 

that is so much more 

than wife and mum

 

Rinku Shah

Female oppression!
Denied basic expression
Passed down each generation,
Is this progress 

or regression?

 

Binod Oram

 

She is the string 

that holds the family together, 

without a dream in her eyes 

neither a word of wish
