We

are told to be wary of things

unknown

Told not to walk to the mall

alone

Why? Because we women are

prone

To the assaults, attempts, a sniff

of cologne

The things that many others do

condone

We,

we live our

lives unnoticed

Every shot at us is one

blow missed

We are careful and we are

focused

Trying to live our lives as the

lowest

But maybe it’s time that we

rewrote it

It’s time

for the world to learn from

the past
That women may no longer be

harassed

That right and wrong are

such a contrast

Maybe next time we will be

asked

We can breathe a sigh, the

danger passed

We

can be free to live our

lives again

No longer will we have to

bargain

The love, an

overflowing fountain

That will be the difference between

Now and Then
