16 Days of Activism

By: Abdulmajeed K Nunez

Every year there is 16 days of activism
But there is still chauvinism
Men need to be taught that women are not possessions
We need to get to the root which is socialization
Men need to know that women are the cradle of socialization
Men need to be taught that God is a woman
Men need to be taught that heaven lies at the feet of a woman
Reprogram the thought that woman is Woe - to- man
All women have the right to chose just like men
A woman is not a man's possession

A woman is the man's equal
A woman is the source of a man's survival
A woman is a man's ambition
A woman is a man's protection
A woman is a man's companion
A woman is a man's advisor
A woman is the guardian of the world's cultures
A woman is not a man's tenure

A woman is a man's pride
A woman in love is a man's soldier
A woman's scorn is a man's failure
A woman is a man's conscience
A woman is a man's compliment
A woman is man quilt
A woman's love is why the Taj Mahal was built

Male chauvinism is due to fear
If a country's women don't rise the country goes no where
That is precisely where there is a need for a department of gender
It's time for a family approach to this of violence
It's contributing to our impertinence
Effecting our children's social conscience
Violence only begets more violence
No one needs to suffer in silence

Men need to be taught gender equality
Men need to get in touch with their humanity
Men need to get back in touch with their spirituality
That's the only thing that differentiates them in the eyes of the almighty
Together they are architects of humanity
Our civility is the foundation of the family
Our unity is the foundation of a strong society
Women must be able to coexist in dignity
They are the fabric of the humanity
