Invest in Women

By Sikiladi

Don’t! Don’t wait till she’s gone

Do it now for her, she’s your own

You might appreciate her ability

Help her to enhance that quality

Her feminine charm and adorable affinity

Is her power tool, mistake it not as her fragility

She might be a mother, a daughter or grandma

Or a sister trying to overcome some stigma

Sikiladi

Stand up for her; she’s preciously your own

She might be too young or slightly grown

You who are her son or daughter or a parent

Or perhaps a sister, a brother or a friend tolerant

Help her find her strength just this once

Almighty keeps giving you many a chance

Sikiladi

Empower that woman in her own field

And see her power in being your shield

Elevate her pride and functionality skills

Her participation in her sports thrills

Not a Doll to be adorned & displayed

A wife’s ambitions must not be curtailed

Sikiladi

Include daughters and sisters with respect

At each decision about family’s aspect

Don’t! Don’t wait till she slips away

Do it now for her, in a patient way

Train her; tutor her to the tech skills

And see her compliment your life to the hills

Be the source of her #inspiredinclusion

In retaining, recruiting and realizing her talent

Address the areas of her development so sure

The timid aunt in the park or the granny next door

Sikiladi

Ensure fulfilling your societal norms one & all

So #EmbraceEquity and the world #DigitAll

Gender-equality acceptance vital by Him and Her

In career, in family, in parenthood create a stir

Don’t! Don’t wait till she suffocates

Do it now for her, gift her the liberty to fly

She and her kind no longer stay subjugates

Fix and flap her airy wings to aid her flights

Don’t take delights in giving her frights

Identify her wisdom and technical expertise

Adjust the crown and tiara for all the queens

She takes pride in your success and wins

Be proud of her victories, don’t show your whims

Sikiladi

She deserves a treatment and respect equitable

Shy not from her glory and do not squabble

Celebrate that woman at home and work

For she nurtures the world besides just you

With a purple sheen mark her dignity & justice

With Hope and Purity uphold her bold promise

Invest in Women & let her upgrade her credentials

Invest in Women:  Accelerate Progress of essentials
