This is an ode to the countless "women" who are physically exploited and to those female infants who were cursed/killed/abandoned for they were born with female hormones.
The bearer of progeny,
She is
Pacifies a man's existence
Personifies love.
A bubble of life her seat,
Stretched hands, quench of love,
She was to soar.
Expecting eyes, looks of hope, she wore.
Wading in flood of hatred,
Venom of dejection poked,
Hurled stones of dislike at,
Pricked thorns of curses,
Anguish revoked?
Sheer agony, yet,
Flee to where?
Earth her Bosom,
Life her breath,
Turmoil in mind
Labyrinth of anguish,
Alas, She has just one wish.
Girl a hatred?
Woman a material piece?
"I am the Woman,
Give me my respect"
Free me of this Labyrinth of Anguish

Very poignant. RESPECT! :)
ReplyDeleteRespect has lost it's meaning for women. She is used or abused.
DeleteThere are still a few good men who truly respect women. :)
DeleteAwww- sorry for delayed response. Well the above was about the other set of people only:-)
DeleteWomen you are infinite , u r divine ....
ReplyDeletebcoz of u the whole of humanity shine.....
Y Y shud we project women a victim , a weak being awaiting justice..enough is enough now its tym, for women to rise up....they simply cannot let themselves be projected as victims ...it has done no gud..
we must always talk about the glorious nature and might of a women....
if c can bear the pang of the birth,,,
c can take away life too...show the vile men yr strength ...never project women as victim
talk always of strength and women.....
srry for being a bit melodramatic but...I really respect women and their might ,they r divine respect
As far as the poem goes it was poetically great..poignant but sadly it depicted women as a victim...
Women U r divine rise up and shine :)
Yep that whom whom we are reading in the daily media head lines is the one who is in this labyrinth. This victim has to rise and shine yet.
