How can we afford
to crush their dreams
And to overlook their painful screams
How can we inflict such pain upon them
And still claim –
To worship goddess and deity
To possess for them
love and pity.
Why aren’t we afraid
Of snatching away their chastity
Of our majesty.
What right do we possess
To worship goddess Lakshmi,
When we kill a wife , a daughter in law
Just for money.
Why aren’t we ashamed
of committing such crimes.
Why do we fail to change our thoughts
With changing times
Why do we fail
To understand their plight
And help them win their right.
To give them a secondary place
Or condemn them –
In life’s phase.
Why don’t we realise
Their power and potential
And our own duties,
Which are very essential.
Why don’t we take a step forward
To win for women
The respect they deserve .
A request to the society as a whole
And to women even more
Stand for your rights
And for all that you deserve!
