Empathy's Anthem: Nurturing the Strength Within

That girl is someone's child, with a story untold,
She may be judged and labeled, as the world can be so cold.
A brut, a cheap slut, a thief, some harsh words they may say,
But she's not weakly, for she battles through each and every day.

With a heart so resilient, though her circumstances may be tough,
Don't cast judgment without truly knowing enough.
For if you can't support genuinely, without expecting returns,
Then let go of the criticism, and let empathy discerns.

Let love guide us through the mist, see all women as sisters, wives, and mothers,
With hearts filled with love, we must insist,
To show them empathy, kindness like no others.

Let's lend a hand, for they're our daughters true,
Train and educate them, let their dreams pursue,
For when we teach a girl, we teach generations anew,
Empowering them, we enlighten our nation too.
