Letting Go

Letting go is hard to do
But I won't hold on
I wouldn't do that to you
You have your life
Your family and friends
It's time to move on
Maybe one day we'll be friends
I treasure each moment
We spent in the sun
Now it's time for the shadows
To return to this one
I never told you
What I wanted to say
My feelings for you
Run deep through the pain
I fell for a man
I could not hold
Now it's time to let go
Say goodbye and remember
The times that we shared
Go on and be happy
You don't belong here
I'll pick up the pieces
As I always do
And move on to the future
Alone with my memories of you
I'll let go as I know you will too
I won't hold on
I'd never do that to you

Afganistan Women

Equals
That's what they really were
Standing, living, fighting beside their men
Laughing, loving, dying for themselves
When war came, they stood
Together as equals
How did it come about
They now shy away from life
They hide their faces
Because they are told to
Doctors, nurses, teachers no more
Lawyers, painters, mothers now slaves
These strangers that once were powerful women
Cowering beneath the boots of men
Men from across someone elses border
Overnight their peace and equality was lost
The women now beg for scraps
After the men and dogs have eaten
The wives flogged for presumption
Children raised to hate and scorn their own mothers
They are the life givers and nurturers
But the cry of "Evil" resounds
If they so much as look in a mans eyes
Or show an inch of skin
From Equal to Evil
How did it happen
And who the hell are these men
From foreign lands, to say this is so

Fundamental Flaw

You are weakness
You are fool
You are religions
Fundamental tool

You are coward
You are shame
You hide your women
To hide your blame

You cry freedom
For your land
Yet imprison your women
Beneath your hand

You claim your martyrs
Your leaders of men
Army of God
Your honour, pretense

Who are you
To raise your hand
And claim God's will
As you demand

You lie, you cry, you kill, you die
You fight and fall
In religions war
That my friend is
Your Fundamental Flaw
