Shakespeare once asked, “What’s in a name?”
Rose will be Rose, as sweet as you smell it
Would still bloom the same
Romeo and Juliet, lovers still bound by fate
And Hamlet would still meet his Ophelia
Does a “name” truly hold no weight?
Yet, much remains unsaid
It is not mere convention
The “name” is a hope
We would know Juliet for her sacrify
Katharine Wright’s ante in the aviation
Amelia Earhart as the aviator
Cleopatra, with her political beauty
And Marie Curie, the scientific world icon
Our role is beyond imagination
Our roles surpass what the world may see
Other than being a maiden, a lass, and a wench
Or daughter, mother, and granny
`Cause we are as a force, a creator, a dreamer
So, let’s carve out our work
So, let’s craft world-class work
As voices that never fade
And being a WOMAN
