#ChildnotBride# This honestly is the highest disrespect to the girl child. It only shows all the talk about educating and empowering the girl child has gotten into deafening ears. Its funny and unbelievable to comprehend an older man getting married to a child in other to make her a widow in no time. I chime for change, the girl child and women. I chime for life! The right to live, Submissive yet maltreated My hands toil day and night Yet battered by the man. I live for tomorrow With a smiling face I stand tall, I chime for change. I chime for empowerment! The right to be resourceful Show no resentment; I can do all that he does Equip me with tools, Watch my skills of creativity and versatility, With a smiling face I stand tall, I chime for change. I chime for love! The right to be loved My dress like rags on the floor, Eyes swollen from a heartless maniac, Comfort my heart I pray, With a smiling face, I stand tall, I chime for change. I chime for education! The right to be schooled, My place is not restricted to the home, "My lunch" he roars! I am smart, intelligent, ready to learn, "I can do it" I say to myself, With a smiling face I stand tall, I chime for change. I chime for the women The right to be heard, Voices of the young and old. In our diversity we speak one voice I chime for the men who believes in this voice Today is great and tomorrow the greatest. With a smiling face, I stand tall, I chime for change.
