Misogyny

Some things in life disturb you to the core and the ripples change you forever.. This piece is the result of one such moment..!

Someone tell her to stop,

Or she will fly away

Towards the vast sky,

Where the freedom awaits.

 

She has not yet succeeded

Let’s try to stop her here.

Feed her with enough reasons

Make her a walking dead.

 

Why should, she be living at all,

She is a girl & doesn't deserve it

The world just hates women

So, feed her with enough reasons

 

Cut her wings, if it comes to that,

But don’t let her get away.

If one bird flies, others will follow,

The nest with bars will be left hollow.

 

The world needs her in every possible way

So give her chunks to the needy ones

Even if it means butchering her alive

Let her be mute and strive for life.

 

Does this hurts? I know it doesn't!

Because this is what happens all around

Kidnapping, Rape, Torture & Trafficking

This is what she gets for all her granting.

 

No one cares what she wants at all,

They only need a piece of her soul.

That she should be willing to give herself,

Or it will be snatched away with her esteem.

Believe me, young lady, the world that I live in does not hate or abuse women, We like and care for them as equals if not betters in many things. Look in the mirror. God created you in His image and He does not make mistakes!

Anything can be seen under three different shades- white, black and grey.
This piece was written in the heat of moment, when only Black could be perceived.
But I do believe you!
Thank you for the review.

This is one of my favorites. I am a feminist and I have to say the writing is beautiful. This piece is very good for awareness to stop misogyny.

[Jyoti_Ablaze]

I am glad that you think so. Thank you for the review!

[Eagle Cruagh]

Yes ! This is a raw piece. It is well written, but I love women so
it is not easy to read for that reason.
Thanks for the story-

You're so honest with this piece. It's sad to think that women everywhere, of all ages and backgrounds,
are mistreated and abused; as if we're not human, too. What's worse is that a lot of this treatment is still passed off like it's normal. Everybody needs to take a stand towards it, because saying that you can't is a lie. It only takes one human to start a chain reaction that can change the lives of millions of people. However, there are more followers than there are leaders it seems. I choose to be a leader, so I stand up for what I believe in and make sure no such behavior ever takes place in front of me, and if it does, I do something about it. But, not just for the women that are abused--for the men, too. Nice job! :)

Thank you for sharing your insights.
I believe in standing up against such discrimination, as well. This piece is a result of one such mishap with someone, for whom I stood and fought.

Yes, the world is cruel. Especially towards women. I know that, its all around me every single day. It hurts to see that, but I can't really do anything about it. Thats just the way the system was built, and thats the way it's gonna be, until someone breaks it all down, for good. Until then, we (All who are aware of these issues, and try to do something, or atleast dare to talk about it) must swallow this pill. Hopefully, one day, society will "grow up" and there wont be any issues such as the pressure put on women. Nice write.

[Jyoti_Ablaze]

Thank you Max for your insightful comment.

[Max]

You are welcome. I hope things get better for you. Keep your head up, because those who wish you harm are either blind or jealouse, or both. And that means, you are doing something right :)

[Jyoti_Ablaze]

Thank you again. But this piece is not about me. It is about all those struggling souls I see out there..
I am still glad if it served its purpose.

[Max]

Oh yes, it did. Very well done. And you are welcome :)

This makes me ache so deeply... how like the devastation of the earth itself, women are mistreated and maligned in our world... Such life-giving, loving miracles of heaven reduced to such scorned objects. It brings us all down to the dirt and bitter place of suffering when one girl suffers.

[Jyoti_Ablaze]

Sad but true side of our society.. Shames the squirming humanity..
Thanks for the review..!

[Ella]

I think this poem is very well-written! That attitude towards women often seems very realistic, unfortunately. I hope that changes soon!

P.S. I went to Maharashtra, India and loved it, but I felt like there were a lot of contrasts and they seemed to somehow coexist even if I thought they never could. :) ) (That is just my opinion.)
Snow is great. I live in New Mexico, USA so we sometimes have some.

[Jyoti_Ablaze]

Living for others, is the way of Life here, hence impossibility defies itself..
And I am glad you liked it..!
Someone told me Snow is the magic falling from skies.. So enjoy it, when you can..
Thank you so much for the review..!

I do not review poetry because I never read it and know little about it. However, I can speak to the sentiment in this poem. Mysogyny is prevalent the world over, including in the US where perhaps it is a little more subtle but nevertheless present. Women's rights are violated daily in the home, in schools, in medical care, in business, in government. I am glad that you have given voice to your experience. Do not give up pursuing your dream without regard to the put-downs (or worse) for women.

[Jyoti_Ablaze]

Sad truth of today's world.
Thank you for the review.

[Vernika]

An absolutely honest and simple poem. It is raw though but still very powerful. Well done! :)

[Jyoti_Ablaze]

Thank you so much..!

[Stan Lee]

This poem made me want to cry to be honest. It is raw indeed... raw with emotion and truth. Absolutely brilliant. You have written about such a vital subject with such frankness, openness, honesty...
I need to restrain myself from going off into a total rave about how AMAZING this was... 'nuff said.

[Jyoti_Ablaze]

Indeed your words have clearly honoured me..! Thank you so much for your encouraging words..!

[Stan Lee]

Thank YOU for writing such an incredible piece :)

[Jyoti_Ablaze]

I am flattered..! Thank you..!
