She was weak

It is the poem emphasising on the male domination in society

She was born

You didn't want a girl at all 

She was 4 and 

Now she looks like a little doll 

She was 10 

Nobody told her about love 

She was 12 

She was learning to light a stove 

She was 15 

You kept her in the walls 

She was 18

In love she falls 

She was 21 

Her choices were not listened 

She was 23 

You gave her to a rich son 

She was 25

 Now in laws had the throne 

She was 26 

 She was already with a kid 

she was 36 

Her boy was now growing splendid 

She was 45 

Her husband complained 

She was 50 

Now a widow crying in pain 

She was 60 

Now her son shouts 

She was 70 

He threw her out 

All life she served everyone 

Her father, her man, her son 

No one shouted but silence did the trick 

But after all she was weak 

If she shouted back that one day 

Her life would have gone a different way

I'm fortunate to not live in a society that you describe, but I understand it happens. I don't know what a female is to do in such a case, but I've always been able to find happiness in life, regardless of the people around me. I don't know what kind of a son throws his mother out, but it sounds like a lot of turmoil is going on in that family. Peace, love, and happiness are the keys to success, and can be achieved even in the worst situations.

so many things going on in this society, it is so vast somewhere these things remain unnoticed...It was just a little effort to aware the fellow women not to let anybody torture them..a little ego and self respect is very important..

I have trouble understanding why men feel the need to control women..this is a clearly written piece which speaks to what still occurs around the world every day...thanks for sharing!

Old world logic wasn't wise. Some cultures were different. Woman ran the houses and were respected. The poem does tell a sad story. Give and give, than the reward is little. I liked the poem. Left the reader with something to think about.

yes! even though lot of us have grown up from this lifestyle but when I see this happening again, I feel enraged

[Coyote Poetry]

I told my kids. Women, black people and equal rights. A constant battle. Government want a dumb-downed society. You must teach your children to respect all life and education. A woman must be able to support herself.

[Kajal Sharma]

yes and it is our duty to teach next generation about these things

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree. I taught my three daughters this.
