Long long ago
How long I know not In the beginning
When creation fell within
The parenthesis of time and space God created heaven and earth And everything within it
As crown of all His work
He fashioned man with his own hands To crown him, formed the last of all Last but the best,
Woman
Man looked at her and said This is bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh Together they lived
But gullible she was Swindlers preyed on her Satan in guise of imposter Was the first of the lot
To swindle her
Then on, there on the story goes on Tricksters galore preyed on her There came in Mahabharata time, Shark of a Duryodhan
Covetous as he was
With revenge of highest degree Ordered to rend naked
The enemy’s spouse, the innocent lass They twisted her with whirlwind speed Till their sinews ached and pained Their ruthless avarice retracted hood Her guilelessness saved the day
To shame womanhood is highest revenge To vent the anger of tormentor
Time moved on, not long time back In our own motherland
A violence broke out in one nook Once an ally, now an enemy Rhyme and reason shoved behind At explosive rate violence reigned Here too the resort came
For angry avengers all
Shame womanhood, the best revenge
The angry mob, homo-sapiens we call Paraded naked two female humans Midst their cheers, howls and screams Women put their heads down
Down and down till no more can down Violent mob tossed them around
Life lifeless toys, from hand to hand Little thinking
They hold within their frail frame A throbbing loving heart
They played their game Until her voice stilled
And no more life left on them No honor paid in life or death World moves on, time moves on Barbaric gene, still latent lie
Down beneath man’s conscious mind Latest in the global news
On unaware crowd, a terrorist attack Hell let loose was the state
Corpses fell like pack of cards
Blood stained bodies shattered around Mutilated, tattered, battered
Midst the pandemonium Some human beasts Unclothed one young lass A butt of ridicule
A laughing stock, they made of her Their laughable laugh
Resounded like hyena’s laugh They rent naked a lady’s corpse
Laughed and spat on the lifeless corpse No honor paid even on dead Speechless lie womanhood
To be kicked around by ruthless men They who say, dont exposed
A woman’s head, face and feet Did so meanly to womanhood They spat hatred like lava From ferocious mountain crest They gurgle, howl and thunder
Throw up fiery flames up on sky Until they froze like granite stones Such granite stones deface the earth
They dot more and more as time advance To give hideous look to good old earth
On their faceless face
Time inscribes shame on you, shame on you
