11. The water carrier

Blessed with the potential
Her body grows each month
Her body grows
For carrying a new life forward
She must bear the pain
She must stand the cost
That nature asks of her
That it demands

Blessed with the potential
She has been locked away
She is exiled
For carrying man’s new life forward
She must bear the pain
She must stand the shame
That man has pinned on her
While he strides on

All for one and one for all
Woman groan since Adam’s fall
Pushed aside and made to crawl
Ugly blood was their downfall

Blessed with the potential
Her worth has grown in time
Her worth has grown
Carrying her new life forward
She now takes her place
She now stands up proud
While man must look elsewhere
For his excuse
