In 'his' society!

For a recent case- in- Guwahati and Delhi-India

Her ‘mother’ blessed her

For the wonderful day

And 'She' marched ahead

Climbed the lofty height

Where no men could reach

And sprinkled the euphoria

With her sacred beam

 

Whilst,

With his own rules, he created

He woke up late!

With no sign of sigh

Proud, he stands

With an attitude "

‘Man of himself’

He made his own day!

 

[Juxtaposed!]

 

He made his nights,

Drenched it with liquors

But still, pompously

He reaches home,

Safe!

Despite the thirst,

For a single drop of water,

She runs to home,

Before the darkness engulfs the city

But she never returns!

 

The blossom of future, thus

Plucked down-

Crumples on the dust

And disappears-

Society claps,

The bees, hence, rewarded!

 

For, you are in

No-women-land!

Built your own shelter

For your own safety

Beware Women!

Unfortunately,

You are in ‘his’ society!

when u r at the lofty height n sprinkling the euphoria....
when u r coming to home ....
transform your sacred beam in to a sword ....
slain the goons in the way to home.....

P.S.-- safety !!!...only, when u r capable to attack....or u r not worth enough to be attacked by someone.

I hardly know how to respond- this is powerful! "the blossom of the future thus plucked down" Sometimes I believe there is a world wide holocaust on women, and your poem brings it to a very personal level. Thank you for sharing your gift.

[Renée]

A very hard piece to read & am I am sure to write..Thank you for being a voice for those who can not speak for themselves..

[Sanjeeta Sharma Pokharel "Hridayaninadini"]

Poems- are the voice of those who fearless. Thank you :) for the review.

[Jibey]

This is a sad but tellin g poem... a feminist plea, and well-crafted complaint about male selfishness... It had a power in its words...

[Sanjeeta Sharma Pokharel "Hridayaninadini"]

In fact, society gives us so many thoughts to toss. Fortunately, we write. Gracias...:)

[MOON]

Sad but true a man's world and rules. Striking write

[Sanjeeta Sharma Pokharel "Hridayaninadini"]

Thanks Moon.

An expression on equality between the sexes that is brave for having got started but lacks the refinement for clear and coherent communication of ideals.

[Sanjeeta Sharma Pokharel "Hridayaninadini"]

Equality- was talk of yesterday...What women of today expects- Life of their own...India recently had a case where a little girl was trapped in between the evil hands of 20 men and the society just clapped for the victory of the 'Men'

[Dayran]

Change takes place where it can most effectively channel transformation in the right direction. One needs to understand that and to be coherent in communicating those priorities. It is what we are all engaged in as a society.

[Sanjeeta Sharma Pokharel "Hridayaninadini"]

Agreed, wholly..

[Emily B]

with words like these, you can change the world

[Sanjeeta Sharma Pokharel "Hridayaninadini"]

Thank you- I am hoping that the words of our, be the strength for those who lacks!

[joshua deathdealer]

This is an example of poetry at it best. Seriously. Great direction and presence. I like the form and construction as well.

[Sanjeeta Sharma Pokharel "Hridayaninadini"]
