Freedom, order, freedom, order, Slave, enslaved, slavery, Masters, and slaves, Slaves that awoke to the potential of being free Pursued their right to be free Free women and men! But women are still not free In most of the world, To the largest part, Women are still enslaved to traditional roles, to dress codes, to serving all around them Sort of like the eternal slaves, The eternal laborers, Used and abused, Exploited and mistreated, Not seen for who they are, still not equal, still lagging far behind Still not deciding, influencing in proportion to their numbers, not managing and directing Not leading, or co-leading. Still silenced, excluded, behind closed doors. And now is the time to put things back in order. Now is the time to order anew By restoring the balance, By letting women in To express and be part In co-leading with men As equals. And on this Seder night, look around the table and acknowledge the women in your midst. Support them in being all of who they can be, to reach places traditionally occupied by men. Undo the wrong, liberate women, bring in the seder-order we so long, and never, ever, pass a woman over again.
