You Are A Woman

You are a woman, a beautiful creation of God

Divine, holy, Effervescent, 

Loving, caring, forgiving...

You are a mother, a daughter, a sister,

A friend, a lover, a companion 

A woman...

Indestructible in your own way

An ideal, who must be worshiped...

But how society takes you,

is a far different image...

You are a woman, a sordid weasel

A victim, a piece of garbage struck far

Nothing at all...

Closed, covered

You must not step out in the dark

You must, stay in,

feed us, clean after us

Eat not before us,

sleep only after all the lights are out,

arise before the sun

Bring us our water, bring us our clothes,

Bring us pleasure, take our rage

Take our fuss, take our mistakes and

Claim it was your innocent misstep

You shall not take a step into the real world, 

for it is ours and you are to blame

For all the deeds and all the scars you must bear...

You have to Smile, bearing all the pains,

You have to laugh holding on

all the unbreakable humiliation....

You shed a tear, alone, in a dark room

but not for the all pains and humiliations.

But because you are so tired of being wrongly

Accused of anything and everything

You are so tired of being on the end of

Every stick, every belt and every angry conversations...

I just don't understand...

Why? Why? This society forgets the fact,

That, You and only You can give birth to a new creature.

You are the one who takes care of her children

and sacrifice herself for them,

Love them unconditionally,

Teach them how to walk,

So that one day, they can trample you

On the grass you wanted to walk on....

Today, on this Mothers Day,

I just want to Salute you

for unconditional love,

your extraordinary plight

and courage to fight and too

with a big Smile on your face...

Even if it takes more than a million years for

Others to open their eyes and realize

I will

Worship the ground you walk on...

Wish I can also set a record with

complete courage and determination....
