Educate the woman, as quickly as you can,
That’s the key to solve the problems
God, Jehovah and Allah, all did not plan for sure,
That the after-life in heaven would include a female ban.
Educate the woman, so she does not fear the Taliban,
Help her join the modern world,
So she could stop the needless fighting,
And will help her from being raped by ruthless man.
Educate the woman, for equal rights within her family clan.
She could have freedom to choose her husband.
She must know to live a life of value
And that her future is not limited to a frying pan
