Poem

Compartmentalization, as a curse is looming large,
As men in toto are fragmented into groups or sects
On grounds of caste, creed, sex or political affiliations 
Branding some as powerful or weak or the corn and the chaff

Men or women, black or white, they are one,
And should be treated alike, without any scorn.
While men hold the sceptre of power, women stay marginalized. 
Under their chauvinistic hold, they often get suffocated.

East or West, women are greatly stressed.
Concede it or not, they are beguiled n' oppressed.

For women of the East, it has been far tougher for centuries.
In some places, a girl child even struggles to be born.
The mother’s womb can turn her sepulchre.
Once born, no guarantee for survival
Fate like a haunting falcon with claws sharp and eyes intent,
Targets and preys on her.
Like a piece of organic garbage, 
Unscrupulous hands may hurl her to the bin,
Or is bundled and cast on railway tracks,
Or discarded on crowded platforms!
If she out lives this, still vultures may circle round,
To feed on her flesh, raw and red.

No oracle or miracle, could ever change her life
None knows what awaits her or what’s her fate

Amid these daunting odds, she grabs life’s better moments
Raise happy kids, keep the family intact
Stick to the wedlock, be it a loop or a lock
Like a balanced acrobat, she does the tight rope walk
For the storms that rage without, to her, is less insidious.
Rarely is she tossed by the unseasonal blizzards.

A society progresses where walls are crushed down
Where all segregations are lifted and unity prevails
And men and women, the rich and the poor 
Live and work in tandem, respecting one another!
