the windows with curtains

We have windows in our homes

We will put iron-grills and curtains

We want our homes to have colours

We want to live in privacy on our own

We don’t want preying eyes

Running along the windows

We don’t want to get our shock

On different faces and eyes staring at us

We even put up mosquitoes netting

Blocking out the pesky insects

We don’t want to welcome the blood-suckers

We don’t want to get inflicted with high end diseases

Basically, we want our privacy

The windows for air but blanked out curtains

We aren’t the cavemen and their women slaves

They lived in freedom sharing their loads

The windows with curtains

We want our homes to look good

We want to have our privacy

For the hours we stay in our homes
