Back Then
Delia School of Canada, Das, Hritisha - 14
One blink and time’s changed.
Back then in the Old Streets of Shanghai,
All we could see was men in black,
Some rare flashes of women's.
Anywhere their presence was,
It was in at night,
In the club, entertaining men.
Society created such an image of them,
That it was like they are made to entertain,
And not to train.
But now time has changed,
And no one is caged.
That gives me pleasure,
Now women’s are everywhere,
Doing work, and treated equally and treated fair.
