Womenlines takes pleasure to welcome ‘Underneath the Pink Umbrella’ as a guest contributor on Womenlines panel. Her first share is straight from heart written poem ‘Equal Opportunities’. ‘Underneath the Pink Umbrella’ is a student in Singapore and feels strongly about women issues-
Why is it that they look for numbers
That is the only thing that seems to matter
What about the ones
Whose hopes and dreams you shatter
Raising them on a pedestal
Caring about achievement not character
Because in the real world, my friend
The most important is the latter
Some want but can’t
Others laze and want
Those can’t don’t
These questions shall us haunt
When did the glittering gold
Lose value to allure
To be measured by appearance
Instead of its weight in the pure
Who to blame but yourself,
Incompetent, worthless and shunned
We are but the discards
As the world remains stunned
Until the day we shall rise
The pity turns to praise
Defy them all and prove our worth
Appearing triumphant out of the haze
‘Underneath the Pink Umbrella’
Underneath the Pink Umbrella:
Hey! I am currently a freshman studying business, quite boring you might think, right? But I’m passionate about it! Besides that, I’m passionate about women’s rights, which is a topic that has been debated for centuries. A historian and artist, I try to research the story behind everything and imbue creativity in whatever I do. My contributions will show you my stance on women’s issues and offer a historical background and a fresher and more relatable perspective for the world and women around you. Have you noticed, that you carry a privilege which might cause you to have access to opportunities that others don’t?
