It seems some scholars/ As well religious leaders/ Have become lion tamers/ Holding Zoroastrian women/ In cages by not treating/ Them with respect/ As well as dignity/ As though they are/ Circus animals.
I can almost hear/ Asho Zarathushtra say:/ "I am not impressed by your/ Money position or titles/ But I am impressed by/ How one treats others.”
The attitude towards women/ Has to change/ By wearing priestly robes/ Performing ceremonies/ Praying near the holy fire/ Is sheer sacrilege.
Rise up ye women folk/ Take destiny in your own hands/ And stop acting like meek little lambs.
Great Leaders do not/ Set out to be a leader/ They set out to make/ A difference.
It’s never about the role/ Always about the goal (Lisa Haisha).
