Protect Our Women
A flower wilts where shadows tread,
A voice unspoken, silent dread.
A sun eclipsed by hands profane,
A wound adorned in crimson rain.
The echoes wail from iron bars,
While echoes fade from battle scars.
A promise left in shattered glass,
A future stripped, a present past.
The midnight howls, the sirens weep,
A dream defiled in fitful sleep.
Yet embered hope, though bruised, remains—
A phoenix bound in broken chains.
So raise the sword, let silence die,
No more shall muted angels cry.
The time is now, the fight is ours,
Protect our women—steel and stars.
A voice unspoken, silent dread.
A sun eclipsed by hands profane,
A wound adorned in crimson rain.
The echoes wail from iron bars,
While echoes fade from battle scars.
A promise left in shattered glass,
A future stripped, a present past.
The midnight howls, the sirens weep,
A dream defiled in fitful sleep.
Yet embered hope, though bruised, remains—
A phoenix bound in broken chains.
So raise the sword, let silence die,
No more shall muted angels cry.
The time is now, the fight is ours,
Protect our women—steel and stars.
