Evoke sense of womanhood
********************************
Men debate free will,
Some women rebuke for it,
Because they are oppressed
Since the centuries,
And accustomed to the tragedy,
For which words and ideas
Should find powerful message
To change their personal
beliefs,
To create a stir for social
change,
In their mind that
They are sinful women
Who sell the harvests of
bodies,
Become distinguished as
Princes of the material world.
Women should realise that
Coolness to a man,
Who makes oppression on women
Would not change the pattern,
Fire in the eyes must be
shown
Pointing that she is a woman,
Having right to her own and
mind.
Women for herself is to task
For what she has done and not
done
Daring in opposition,
How much have she put
On the line for freedom?
In the background of
Relationships, and emotions.
The modern woman is
To acknowledge that
She is the daughter,
She is the mother,
She is the sister,
and she is the wife
And she is to confront these
facets,
and in doing so,
She is to evoke a sense of
womanhood,
She is to make realise
That she has been woman for a
long time,
Became a sinner not
Making beware of her silence,
For which she became
Treacherous with
Old Patriachal magic,
And she is to stand for
womanhood,
As she is woman to be safe
From crime against women,
Including ghastly offence of
Rape,
Dowry death,
Domestic violence,
In rising graph,
And the women feel unsafe
Even in their own
surroundings.
Women are not objects to lust,
And are to fight
For their empowerment and
Liberation from patriarchal
bond
Mentality realising their own
Strength,
Pride and
Work,
Changing the portrayal of
women
Protecting themselves from
Seeking some saviour
Coming to protect them,
And
There should be a drive
To purge television and films
of obscenity, Making by progressive forces
In participation of the
administration, Educationists,
Parents,
As well as social
organisations
Against patriarchy influence,
And this is required for
The upliftment of the society.
