Woman-Hood

A fragile but tough Creature,a woman,an Embodiment of glory and Honour wit heart deeper Than the deepest sea;ful Of mysteries. The mother of all humans A mystery herself that Emanates power and confidence-alas!the Egocentric man has for Centuries tried to strip Her of splendour. She in the cage of Subjugation has patiently Stayed,never complaining But a perfect planner. See how docile that Woman looks:appearing With ironic smiles in Paintings,never revealing Her real thoughts. Always flowing with the Tide,never knowing what Lies ahead-turned into a Beast of burden from the Pre-Roman times till date. Used as a"pleasure doll," "a monument,"........ "A parody" and the Medium of displaying Manhood by the male Folks. There is no haven for her Nor her "unfortunate" Unborn children,not at Home or even the society. This sleeping tigeress, When awakened,fights for Her rights more doggedly Than men. When she starts her Battles,she ceases not till Victory or defeat is sure.
