Womanhood

Fragile but tough Creature,a woman,an Embodiment of glory and Honor with heart deeper Than deepest sea;full Of mysteries. Mother of all humans. Mystery herself,emanates power and confidence-alas!the Egocentric man has Centuries tried to strip Her of splendor. She in the cage of Subjugation patiently Stayed,never complaining But a perfect planner. See how docile that Woman looks:With ironic smiles in paintings,never revealing her inner thoughts. Always flowing with the Tide,not 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 medium of displaying manhood by male folks. There is no haven for her Nor her"unfortunate" seeds,not at home or society. This sleeping tigeress, When awakened,fights for her rights doggedly than men. When her battles start, she ceases not till Victory or defeat is sure. Once a man called Jason as told by Euripides a great Gracian dramatist, took the wife Media to Colchis and there he fell In love with another daughter of King Aegstus a ridicle on Media's pride. Media fought back and Craftily gave wedding present. Nay a Poisoned garment it was. The bride wore it and fell Dead,the King kicked the bucket trying to rescue her doomed daughter. Flushed with this Vegeance, Media slew her children with Jason"I bore them,so I kill them." Oh!woman lamented Jason,you are the most wicked of all creatures (He gune estin kakiste,toon Anthropoom).
