And
She's treading on still..
As has been so far
Deafly unconcerned
Along a road, in the cab, in the shop
Anywhere
Unbeaten by deafening noise
Unbothered of scolding, mocking, joking, shirking
Others blaring in
searching a piece of sound
Fathoming her ears
Unknowingly that
She the queen
Her dictatorship bejeweled, bedecked
Slamming everybody at her feet
Her best familial way
Despite a deaf, illiterate
Unknowingly about
Her sovereign cognition
Of kitchen and as well of her nation
Despite a deaf, illiterate
Unknowingly that
She the most unconcerned of herself
Devoid of aid any her hearing-loss
Yet can talk on M.S.Subbalakshmi
Despite a deaf, illiterate
Unknowingly that
She the shepherdess of the infernals
Where she's treading on still..
The bold and deaf ninetyfive
To the inkling sound of silence
Treading on still..

Her stride with abilities, inspite of being deaf and illiterate
Where have 'others' went wrong...? ? ! ! !
Dear poet, you pose a question to all of us.
We need to know what to listen
What to take cognizance of
Else the pace will limp and shamble.
Ability... seen here.... probes me more
So much to perceive...
I just love this write for its ability to take readers beyond...

Firstly i would like to offer
my profound regards and gratitude for
sparing time, reading and commenting on my work.
'Ability', comes across an extremely powerful work.
It makes me wonder, as to whom this poem has
been written about.

I see true Indian faminism in this poem as compared to what Maya Angeola wrote in her Phenomenal woman. The real pride of being a woman lies in in upholding the dignity of womanhood. I tried to say the same in my poems LIVING IDOL and HOLY TRINE. Let us all bow to the Mighty Audi Parashakthi, our Holy mother.
