I'M sure i've seen that photo of 'you' in the hat a long time ago. nice. and thanks for the bio material about you. now to read the above; i already glanced at some comments. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - sur·name ˈsərˌnām/ noun noun: surname; plural noun: surnames 1. a hereditary name common to all members of a family, as distinct from a given name. synonyms: family name, last name; patronymic his real surname is MacNeil archaic a name, title, or epithet added to a person's name, especially one indicating their birthplace or a particular quality or achievement. by his successes there, he acquired the surname of “the African.” - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - so, i would say the use of the father's surname for the children is not a bad thing, but i think some Spanish societies use the surnames of both parents. it would be more convenient for genealogists that way. in stanza one, i will assume by inspiration you mean inspiration to do something 'wrong/bad/etc'? ? [[ otherwise, i think of using the word inspiration to give credit for something 'right/good'.]] i say that because you follow by saying: Everywhere and every time they made you culprit. culprit brings to my mind wrong/bad. i suppose women HAVE been ill-treated by men more than men have been ill-treated by women. but men have also been ill-treated by men. AND....................if you could have seen how my three previous wives treated me, you might have felt sorry for me....................................................if you (the reader) are a man. ha ha bri :) so, in Indian, how are children named? ? ? ? ? well! i see NO SUBMIT BUTTON! I'LL TRY SENDING as a message.

Writing about the truth seen in the world! ! About women. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Great poem expressing the perpetual struggle of what identity and status is suitable for a woman. There are no easy answers. With changing times each generation has its own way of thinking. It is not only women. I think men also go through this crises. But do not talk about it same way.

These words from a man's pen is appreciated. Wish anyone could give answers to these questions. Very well written thought Asim... I'am still searching for the answers... Why can't a woman have her own identity? Is it asking for much...1000++++ for this beautiful thought.
