Punnia Viswan Bhatia Poet Couplet

She Man

This is in dedication to the transgenders around the world, who live in solitude punishing themselves for being born! Love you She Man for being strong and wise at the same time.

I am a born man
I call myself Ann.

Being in the delusion
I carried the hidden fear of exclusion.

With the power of Hercules
And the virginity of Artemis,

I must have been proud being a hermaphrodite
Carrying the blood of Aphrodite.

But the so-called civilian society calls me a worm
Who must live on the earth as a dung worm,

Feeding the venom of alienation
Punishing self for an unknown mutation!

Think once, twice or thrice
Have you ever been this wise,

Knowing I am too a being
Not a mere one, but a beautifully carved living being.

If you think otherwise
You prove me you are vice

But, I am beyond you, know man
I am SHE MAN

Good subject matter. Punnia Viswan Bhatia December 30, 2015 at 9:14 AM Glad that you liked the poem Toni :)) thank you for the wonderful comment and your time friend :) Happy new year in advance :))
