Missing Women

A thousand ships sailed one day
A million monkeys died on another
Because, you women, you were missed

A silent night launched a secret sigh 
One hundred moons cried in a deep blue sky
Because, you woman, you aren't missed

Who wrote those woman's stories
Such glories that lead men to war!
What gripped your love so hard
As to be clipped by silence overall?

And yet, 

Woman, who are you to ask of fate 
Why beauty dares yet to survive
And why does it not die 
When love fades and leaves us all?
