lyrics

cajoled by theories
designed to enthrall
simple semantics that bury cognition

stained checkered table cloths
and leather bound dishonesty
teaching our children so they’re able to loath

castrated eager minds
capable of such depth
installing prejudice against nature

taking the rights of women
to make their own choice

usurping our right to govern [ourselves]
without hateful belief

rejecting the learned teachings
of the most important minds

Traditions that stifle
oppress and control
axioms vile subjugation of truth

Born into patrimony
to marry and propagate
tethered and subservient without hope of escape


Cultural and religious norms include and condone forced marriage, institutionalised rape, beatings and murder, incest, honour killing and wounding, genital mutilation, the taking of all rights from women, homosexuals hanged for who they love, torture, religiously motivated murder..the list is endless. How have we come to this? What motivates societies to allow such things to occur? and perhaps what is worse, we justify and allow such things to continue because we are told to respect “cultural practices?” If we consider ourselves equal, and civilised, then we have equal right to condemn and end such acts.
