Women

Comes from the womb,to not being cheered.
 That has been the culture,it haven’t changed over the years.
 Child reached the moon ,  but not the mind of our people. 
  It has become a rarity that it has been cheered.

  She becomes a girl, and pity is felt for,
  cursed every moment for being a girl.
  But never been appreciated for pain she takes in her .
  When she run bare-foot to make good for the future 
                                                    
  No books seen in her future, the law has been made 
  to live on bread of others.
  Which she never think as cruel .
  Still we pity them as if she is not a SAPIEN.
  Girl conquered the world,but we see then burden to future.
 
  The authority is changed to rule her .
  But her character remains the same whatsoever.
  Still rock remains her strength, in cruelest of wave she face inside her .
  She raises many of them like hers.
  But never appreciated for being a great women.
  The respect should come from heart .
   For a women who brings, all peace to world forever.

  Some respect is gained,  as she grows older.
  But still work for for family,and share her bread to other .
  By being most generous on earth forever.

 And the time comes,  when she need to be helped by others .
 Put aside as old manor with no future.
 Still try to find happiness ,in cheer of the younger .
 Finally the curtain falls,and the end of great  journey comes to a halt .

DEDICATED TO WOMEN OF INDIA.

This really had my blood boiling and trust me my opinion is almost same like urs. People here only knows how to suck life out of a woman. Did they care for her freedom? her rights? HEr very right of beign educated in this country.We face the oppositions from our own community. The is a long unending saga here. The reformists are dead now. Thank u so much for posting this poem. Good to know ur thoughts here
