Woman In Chains

The sullen stars seemed 
guardian angels, 
looking at me from the half opened sky.

Their stares were comfort of my crying,
as though sending a message to fight,

their wide wings flapped 
and took me up
from my cell of chain.

We flew in my dreams,
drifted-
as if the wind heard our laughter.

Every lonely night, they were hanging
on every moon's ray to cheer up my bout:

For my freedom.

Every lonely night, they were hanging on every moon's ray to cheer up my bout: For my freedom.... good write on woman; woman the power of the man; power of the universe, beauty of the earth; the main source of the creations but still she is chained everywhere by the name of nature or so-called godly books; now it's time to break this shrewd chains...

A reality that is breakable MB. That's called women empowerment. No one is above our rights. The patriarchal society should be stopped. Women are not weak. It should be no gender-based world. Thank you for dropping by. Stay safe.
