What have we done

Long ago Women:

Tended the house

Wash the dishes

Clean the clothes

Bathed the children

Cooked the dinners

Long ago Men:

Went to work

Mowed the lawn

Paid the bills

Financial supported the family

Women wanted rights

That decided

Women can do men’s work

Who is left to

Tend to the home

Watch the children

To always be home

When a child is sick

Women’s rights now means

To many workers

No parents at home

Lower pay for all

Women have no rights because

Now they have to work too

To make ends meet

Try to tend to the child

But they have to work

Try to clean the home

But there is no time

The children suffer

As the parents have no time

Childhood is cut short

As children are forced

To tend to things at home

That women used to do

Women’s Rights

What have we done
