What is a woman? A Fresco!



What is a woman ? Who is she ?
Have you ever thought how do we define ourselves before the world defines us?
An image , a deity, a person, an idol, a guide, a friend, an entrepreneur, a philosopher or a being?



While nations are developing fast in field of science, technology and automation, society in many of the countries is still lagging in terms of issues and conditions of women and their living. There, woman is the source of exploitation who can be used , manipulated and later on abused ,subjugating her to the emotional strife.
In every part of the world, she lies in pieces and bits...



A fresco, thou art!
dithered once attractive,
now pale, was elegant,
but a mere showpiece , Thou!
hanging as a décor.
O! the nail must be a pain,
which dangles Thee,
to remain in a fixed perimeter
and restrained threshold
flaccid, lifeless, thou appear!



though, thou art the beauteous creation,
drained, faded is your stature,
shrunken and sordid on the
wall of living and pleasure!



blemished with accusations,
ashen and vulnerable,
ripped apart thousand times
within and pierced forever,
thee! crumpled, crushed and forgotten…



cast off the mould and predicaments
break the shackles
unchain the fetters,
thy place is amongst the stars
there awaits thine abode and milieu!



Collect these pieces and put them together, give them a shape and redefine the new born woman of today with an identity and nomenclature!
