Sexual Liberation

by Daran

 

 

 

 

 

There are people who say they are liberated,

But they tell you half the truth, themselves,

A friend has to look beyond what they say,

To understand that they display their anima past,

Of walking around nude in the fur, as sex appeal.

In a thinking man, sexuality is an individual matter,

He learns to relate that to his society by the trends,

There are no fixed standards regarding what that might be.

The Indian image of murugan was in a bikini bottom,

Unfortunately, conservative society translated that,

As the life of a mendicant, cultivating a life without desire,

We see these things in a new light today and we rethink,

We learn as much from our friends overseas.

Perhaps the sexual liberation of the Indian is not there yet,

But a search on Indian Nudes on the internet is revealing.

There may be reasons to believe that it is here to stay.

Interesting points, well stated, well laid out. This seems to be a position you are very passionate about and it comes through in the piece cleanly, articulately, and powerfully. Good job, this is a great poem.
