Woman, O Woman

Woman,O Woman; you are a symbol of love and peace,

But we tied you with the rope of evil and injustice.

Woman,O Woman; you wanted to be safe,

But look what we did, we got you raped.

Woman,O Woman; you were the child's first institution,

But we dragged you, into the dark alley's of prostitution.

Woman,O Woman; you gave birth to great kings who are now in their tombs,

But we murdered you right inside your mother's womb.

Woman,O Woman; you gave us hope,you gave us life,

But when you were born, we buried you alive.

Woman,O Woman; you represented Laxmi and Saraswati,

But we torched you alive in the name of Sati.

Woman,O Woman; you are a mother, a wife,a sister and a daughter,

But you are ill treated everywhere, and we are not bothered.

Woman,O Woman; we made you suffer, and still you kept quiet,

And we thought it is our birth right.

Woman,O Woman; you married us for love and glory,

But we married you for your money and dowry.

Woman,O Woman; you took the pain and never complain,

But we ignored you, and thought it was our gain.

Woman,O Woman; we are  sorry for what we did,

But, could you forgive us for our dreadful deeds,please?

By Md Shafiuddin
