Customs and cultures
The difference in point of view
And yet similarities to
For women under the veil
Like to dress up to
Such strange ways of yesterdays
And the customs that still ensue
Still played out today
And the effects that they would do
Locked away forever
For a safety purpose view
The veil of all discretion
Or a sentence will ensue
Rape considered a crime
Unless 4 men witnessed it happening to you
Is that not accomplice
Or the lack to be a man
To watch a woman suffer that way
I cannot understand
The point to kill a baby girl
Or to pimp her life away
Or that of the married world
Just to hide your life away
