A WOMAN _A QUESTION MARK

                                                   


                                   A  WOMAN --   A  QUESTION  MARK
                                         Gentle touch of wind caresses her
                                         And she sighs softly
                                         Looks at the sky
                                         Lying in the pool of her blood
                                         Tears roll down her eyes

                                          " Is she dead? "someone asked
                                          "   Am I dead ? "
                                          Yes , way back in time she died

                                           A mother slayed in the sex starved world
                                          A young girl of six and sixty
                                          And a woman of eighty
                                          All sexually butchered by men
                                          By many other men    
                                          Tears roll down her eyes...

                                          Is it curse to be a woman....
                                         In the wide wide wild world

                                          She closes her eyes.....
                                         The wind touches her bruised body softly
                                         Peace embraces her finally....

                                          A woman becomes a question mark
                                         In the wide wide wild world
