Shamba Mishra Poem
Wake up in the midnight,
Staring at the window outside
It slightly far above my sight
A little girl’s hands folded
Cries out in pain
I can read her facial expression through
closed windowpane,
All her veins stuck out in utter disgust,
Years of agony, memories of holocaust
Ridicules her every night.
Though she gets revived in every morning bright
I was helpless to make her relieved.
Series of events, emotions I perceived,
She tries to hear through her horror dreams.
Why is she a woman, everybody screams?
Deep inside her house
There’s a picture of her grandma's spouse.
Who received a message from ancestor,
Which could mean to be his family protector.
A story of birth and rebirth
Will keep their family tree, tie strong on earth.
When every boy is born
A haunted chapter which she eagers to torn.
Though she is unable to read every line
Is this the reason she paid this hefty fine?
Departed from friends and family.
Losing her self-control in distress gradually
I want to speak for her.
Raise my voice that this deaf society could hear!
Thanks to the almighty who gave me a reason to fight,
To prove again and again that no one is above his might.
Everyone is a child of Him,
They may be fatty or slim.
May be of any colour or creed,
We are just carrying His ethos in here to breed.
Very simple is tone,
Could be a square or a cone.
No girl no boy
Neither in heaven nor in earth there's any ploy
Live and let live,
Let's have free air to breath.
Thousand ideas to nurture,
Every human being is of his own nature.
Try to respect others and take care,
Eventually evolve your gesture and your manner
In common values you owe and thoughts you share
It will quench your thirst and your burning desire,
To erase this social stigma what thoughts that transpire.
To spread the word of love irrespective of gender
Always ready to face any critic with your words to counter.
That’s how a true social sphere can be built,
Where every issue that causes human suffering must be dealt.
