Girl Rising

Years of oppression and no revolt, Continued sufferings of subtle minds, I don't find girl rising! Living in subjugation and cruel society, Abused by her own beloved, I don't see any girl rising! Call for justice is far from cry, Targeting her from every side, I don't find any girl rising! Awakening minds is the only tool, Raise a voice against despotism, Inoculate courage into the oppressed, Sun will appear above the horizon, Ascent with an active rebellion, I can definitely see the girl rising !! Form of poem is rhyme. Written by Dr. Upma Sharma June 2013 Awarded 1st place win Entered for another contest Awarded 10th place win I like this poem because this is my first and only wish to see the girl rising ! And I m absolutely hopeful for it will happen one day!

Women are strong, but sometimes we still need to stand up for ourselves and fight for what is right. Your words are very empowering and inspirational, Dr. Upma. Congratulations on your win!

Dear D r. Upma, Congrats on your win. Nice to know your thinking coinsides with mine. The difference is that I am a male and your the gentle kind. I have written a couple of poems about the very same subject. But was surprised to get even a ok review. One women poet, even called me a drag, pretending? I agree with your view, that unless we awake minds, We cannot see the girl rising. Keep in touch Sam:-)
