Jesus sat beside a well
High noon of the day
A woman came for water
Please give me some I pray
They fell in conversation
And gently it poured out
Her tale of troubled living
He gently listened out
Her life that day she truly told
Her story was received
She felt herself full understood
For all those times aggrieved
For women are the sufferers
In oh so many ways
And men use them for pleasure
And then just walk away
The Lord he counsels reverence
For every human being
No cover up no stripping bare
But something in between
Clothe our selves in kindness
Garments to keep us warm
And treat all women gracefully
Preserve us Lord from harm

+ Muslim culture advocates total cover up. Western culture strips women bare. Domestic abuse is everywhere and sex is regarded as a pleasurable right instead of the form of personal loving. Women are assaulted every day and angry men do not know how to be human.
