O! The Woman! I Beseech You Poem by Tribhawan Kaul

O! The woman! I hail you.
an embodiment of
Lakhshmi, for ushering prosperity
Durga, for the courage you show
Swarswati, for the knowledge you bestow.
Seeking the powers from trinity
you create, preserve and nourish
yet made to walk over fire
era after era, time and again
by those whom you created! ! !

You are not Sita, so why to carry on the legacy?
Wear robes of identity and individuality
Take up the mantle of a knight and fight
for your honour, dignity and rights
time is ripe to strike
put a nail in the coffin
of servitude, hostility and exploitation
take on the world and seek anointation
fighting for amelioration
truly, to the status of Trinity
O! The woman!
I beseech you. AMEN!
