Who Made Her So Abhorrent? Poem by Madhav Sarkunde

As a lover-
we have a huge crush on her
we would fain lose everything for her sake
we even dare say God incarnation to her
we forget all and all in her remembrance
she is a world of love and pleasure for us.

As a wife-
we love her very much
we feed each of her desire
we call her Griha Laxami
we think we are imperfect sans her
she makes us a complete being.

As a mother-
we worship her as a guardian angel
we care for her with utmost care
we call her Janani and holier than heaven
she is the sheet anchor of our worldly life.

She is woman:
First sigh of creation
Origin of species
vibrant River of life
without her cosmos is void.

All the same,
when it comes to her birth
we cruelly nip her in the bud
we celebrates son's arrival with fanfare
but leave no stone unturned to hate hers

It is a great enigma
we want her as a lover, wife and mother
but we close our doors to her birth as a girl
What logic works behind all this?
Who made her so abhorrent?
I condemn him, though he is Creator.
