She


Somewhere there is a women behind the worse of adversities,
Fighting her way out she emerges tired,
Tired not of the world as much,
Tired not of any routine as such,
Tired not so much physically.

She only is
Tired of all evil trying to over-power,
Tired everyday of the glaring eyes and the groping hands,
Tired as always of the society's relentless demands.

She wants
not much of luxury, yet she can sustain,
She can brave a rough terrain.

She wants
no praise, nor to gloat with vanity,
She wants just enough to uphold her dignity.

She warns
Keep me safe, just as you ought to,
Else I might turn around and fly away wherever I want to.

  2. Isn't it absurd that at this juncture, when our civilisation is at a zenith, we still have to speak about basic human rights?

    1. Our civilization has been built on false notions of basic rights or may be it was polluted somewhere in its journey...To quote Orwell,'it seems we all are equal, but some are more equal than others!'
