Young Ann

Times could be far worse for me says young Ann
I could be living in Afghanistan 
Living the life of a fearful young woman
Under the rule of the cruel Taliban
Forced in public to wear a burqa or hijab and partly cover my face
And deprived of most of my feminine grace
To make my own decisions in love not even free
Forced to marry an ugly man far older than me
I may not be in a very well paying job today
But on my life and working conditions i do have some say
And the one that i marry is the one i do choose
In some Countries most of the freedoms i have now i would lose
Life could be far worse for me says young Ann
I could be living in Afghanistan.
