Enter Poem or Quote (Required)Required Flowers of Midnight I am not a morning glory I am damsel of the midnight When misery struck my family, wrath of God, classy people cite To appease the Almighty, pubescent girl at home be left... as a "Devadasi" which meant literally, " Servant of the Deity" This immoral exploitation veiled under wraps of religion Ignorant, illiterate with superstition my family lets me into this with celebration A ritual follows during my initiation into this system of south Indian society and 'am declared deity's wife... My new home the temple premise All my life dreams in air collapse At this point, am made a midnight flower to the classy patrons and priests My duty is to dance and sing and cater to their insatiable carnal needs I am craved for at nights and like trash rejected as dawn heralds for I am their queen of the nights I am a withered midnight flower My fragrance lingers only at night My voice subdued beneath my footsteps as I dance to their dirty desires My soul weeps in deep hiding suppressed while outside emanate my forced joyful songs! © Anulaxmi Nayak, 2015 P.S: Devadasi system refers to immoral exploitation of girls who were dragged into prostitution in the name of religion which was deeply rooted in south-Indian states. Awareness and social reforms has removed this from society this centuries old deeply etched socio-religious malefic practice.My attempt just to throw light on this system and not to deal with several details and controversies associated with this.
