Woman, Beautiful Woman!

Woman,

Beautiful woman.

The world searches in you

frantically,

qualities that it does not possess.

In vain, for ages,

you have been judged,

accused,

traumatized

for things you were not even guilty of.

What the world wants of you

is unconditional emotion

like the waves of the ocean

that come to the shore

pouring out heart, soul and spirit,

not waiting for any reward in return

merging again into the vast waters.

 

Woman,

Beautiful woman.

Like Mother Earth

which trembles,

tormented by those she loves,

you keep going back

to give more and more

but, what when the coffers

get emptied?

When there is nothing more

left to give?

Who will soothen the hurt

that ravages your very being?

Will you, like Nature

pour out venom and lashing lava

to get even with the shameless offenders?

 

Woman,

Beautiful woman.

There is you,

only You

that can make peace,

make love,

make war.

Your power, only you know,

Not friend, not foe.

Don’t wait for change.

Await not for love.

The world knows

only to grab and run.

For them, it’s just sadistic fun.

So, tarry not oh! Woman

before it becomes too late.

March ahead and design your own fate!

 

………..

 

(For all my friends,

Wishing you a very Happy Woman’s Day!)
