Women

Imagine, a world without Women
It is a world without empathy.
All the pain they carry, yetkeep working diligently
For their homes, their families,
Abackbone to every society.
A figure so prominent, revered to as a deity.

Imagine, a world void of Women
Somethingwe cannot fathom.
For all the wrongs done to them, wishwe could make amends
Yet their sacrifices go underappreciated,
Tears taken for granted.
For once if we could understand, 
What a world without them would be like,
It would only be compassionless, virtue less,
A totally hollowness world.

The world would be like a boat in the middle of the ocean, completely stranded.
The present world built on the past sacrifices of countless women.
Our beacons towards a brighter life,
For once take a moment and appreciate their pain,
Something we cannot fathom, 
A world without Women.
