Blinded by the past and silenced by the future

Blinded by the past and silenced by the future

Jackie De Klerk

 

Blinded by the pastย 
and silenced by the future,ย 
the women had no power.

 

Blinded by the past and silenced by the future2
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.

With her sight taken by himย 
and to have no voice to be heardย 
by using a child to keep her quiet.

Like father like son,ย 
both silencing the womanย 
that is so much moreย 
than wife and mum

 

Rinku Shah
Female oppression!
Denied basic expression
Passed down each generation,
Is this progressย 
or regression?

 

Binod Oram

 

She is the stringย 
that holds the family together,ย 
without a dream in her eyesย 
neither a word of wishย
