	At the crack of dawn 
You are already worn 
Day in day out  
You wake up to toil and moil 
Digging the diamond hard ground 
 
Your man is a drunk 
Everyday he drinks  
Then comes back home  
To beat you sick 
 
No career for you 
Education is a luxury  
Only for the lazy ones-your brothers 
 
You have been reduced  
Reduced to nothing but a breeding machine 
Now life is but a struggle 
A struggle to feed and nurture 
You’re ever increasing brood. 
 
As you lament in silence 
I dare ask, 
For how long shall it remain like this?
