We glorified
Womanhood
To restrict you
To brooms.
Celebrated
Motherhood
To confine you
To rooms.
We pitied you to
Hold hostage in
Soft-emotions.
Stereotyped to
Force you in
Clothes of desire.
Ladies first we
Say,
Unequal salaries
We pay.
To force you to
Cut onions.
Men shouldn't cry,
We declare.
You may wage wars.
Rule the world.
Mother a prophet or
Slave a demon.
Still, you gotta
Take our blame
And make our
Homes.
You're better than us.
Even stronger.
But consolation
Prizes is all you'll get..
Maybe another
Child to pet.
A saree,
Some jwellery or
One more poem
Like this one to
Exemplify your
Compliant behavior.
