International Women's Day
Debates and discourses galore
Trees and rivers are worried
Cruelty and hounding are torrid
A raped morning in the shore
Kindness smiles in the water
It fondles the skin still tender
Flying sands drop by to kiss it
Restive waves come on hissing
Intellectuals in the seminar
Shopping at fifty percent
Online bonanza for women
Pious hopes in the twitters
Success is celebrated globally
Molested school girls scoff at
Flesh is what the quest goes for
Pearls of friendship is a far cry
Sharks of powers and muscles
Untamed high-rise castles
Can’t we have joint umbrellas?
To share a grief or golf stick
Sublimate our glare of control
And avoid hundreds of shipwreck?
Discrimination will go away one day
We will need centuries to that end
Life will be the same celebration
For men and women together
