Says a little prayer as she rises, eager for the new day
The sun shines bright and early on her way
Routines repeat itself in school, no one pays them any mind
The teacher’s routine is renewed as he selects his favorites for his task ‘My strong boys,’ he says as he encourages their participation “Girls will soon soar,” she says.
Different times but similar circumstances
All too familiar for her
Eagerly waiting the promotion
Unfair patriarchy termed bureaucracy
Uncomfortably setting for the norm “Girls soon will soar,” she says.
