Kurdish Girl Soldiers

It's mistaken to think only men wish to fight
To keep safe their homeland, defend what is right,
For women too know just how much may be lost,
And they like their men are aware of the cost
Of not doing anything if they're attacked;
Many girls know quite well that they also must act
To see that their culture and creed do not die,
Crushed by an enemy while they stood by
Not doing anything, till 'twas too late,
With no option left but accepting their fate.
One sees in the Kurdish girls fighting beside,
Their brothers in arms, to help turn back the tide
Of those who'd destroy them and make them all slaves,
Women who'd much rather go to their graves
Knowing their efforts had helped to achieve
Promotion of ideals in which they believe.
