Feminism
Why the urge to gain equal rights by women,
Has become a topic of debate?
If she wants to be as free as a man,
Why a mess this movement create?
A woman during her period is barred from temples,
But a man, even a rapist get blessings in ample.
The case of Nirbhaya struck our heart’s core,
But could it counter the pain she bore?
Ramayana is a part of history,
If Ram asked Sita to walk over fire is a mystery.
But the present man is no less,
Urges a girl to undergo virginity test,to prove her innocence.
Can she demand the same?
No! It will be a matter of shame.
If he asks for it, that’s a matter of pride,
Because it’s his sole right to select his bride.
Is preference of a boy over a girl justified?
Are we ever going to make our mentality wide?
Feminism is required for a better future,
For human race to be considered cultured creatures.
