Patriarchy : Sayed Mobashar Ali

Patriarchy

Sayed Mobashar Ali

The system that dominates,

And controls a woman’s voice,

Making her feel weak inside,

As if she has no choice.

Roles are divided by gender,

Women confined behind the wall,

Honour linked only with women,

While men are praised for all.

It creates a biased society,

And builds the glass ceiling high,

Though it is not natural or real,

Still society lets it survive.

No nation can truly progress,

If women are denied their space,

Patriarchy should be ended,

So equality can take its place.
