“BRING BACK OUR GIRLS”
Being a girl
Ain’t a sin
No matter what
Colour Caste or Creed
For that matter what
Religion she was born in
We do not live in
Ivory Towers
Treated like Queens
Carried around by
Bronzed muscle men
In Palanquins
Women may be Aryan
Dravidian Yellow Black or White
All we ask is a sprinkling of love
Understanding of Dignity
Respect as well Equality
Women ain’t a mold of clay
To be bruised battered abused
Each & everyday
As well fashion them
In anyway
Women are human beings
With emotion & real feelings
No can force
Their will on others
As we have a free will
So unchain the shackles
Of tyranny
As we want to
Break Free!!

Beautiful! Thank you.
I appreciate your feedback Jeh!
Dear Farida,
Your poem on Girls made a nice reading.
I used to read your poems on ‘creatingawarness’ group which sadly dissolved due to bickering by our humdins! A pity that we could not survive discussions on emails and what can we expect from such a lot for other creative thoughts.
My name may ring a bell to you.
Wising you all the best,
