Minister of Culture |
A pretty bride of India |
Is burned with kerosene |
Her husband keeps her dowry |
And his freedom is achieved |
A Burmese girl in Bangkok |
Is of value for her skin |
Sold for her complexion |
Never saw her home again |
The minister of culture |
He argues so well |
His teeth are flashing |
As he details |
A legacy of murder |
A heritage of rape |
A time honoured tradition |
To maim and mutilate |
Cut away her labia |
With dirty broken glass |
She died of an obstruction |
Painfully infected mass |
A dress code violation |
Is an outrage in Iran |
Splashed her face with acid |
Only then the fun began |
The minister of culture |
He argues so well |
His teeth are flashing |
As he details |
A legacy of murder |
A heritage of rape |
A time honoured tradition |
To maim and mutilate |
She wasn’t good enough |
A female child |
Left face down packed in the snow |
Umbilical cord around her tiny feet |
She suffers and dies alone |
A woman in a western home is under house arrest |
A drunkard is her jailer he’s entitled to molest |
Her daughter is passed over when she tries to raise her hand |
The likelihood of her success is not an even chance |
The minister of culture |
He’s wringing his hands |
He keeps on laughing |
As he demands- |
No human right applies here |
Our women will agree |
Our property has spoken |
No cause to intervene |
Our property has spoken |
No cause to intervene |
