Woman, She Rises

Woman, She Rises

Her body a scaffold, the patriarch deemed
Games of lust they played

Her self-respect, exiguous seemed
Lacerating they splayed

Her aspirations, tenuous subdued
Ignominy crusaded

Her broken smiles, all stories screened
Servile charade

Women like a Phoenix 
Rose from the ashes

Fearless facade, her power screamed
Endless her cascade

Boundless her fervour
Royally beamed
With zeal she displayed
