2017 - India Poem by Debasis Chatterjee

2017 - INDIA

Humans are principally of two kinds:
Men and Women;


Men:

Skin color: white or not

Worship: Temple, Mosque or Church

Food: Vegetarian or Non-vegetarian

If Non vegetarian: which meat is partaken

If Vegetarian: which plant is killed

Whatever wishes can be expressed anytime

Whatever activities can be done anytime

Whenever willed, insulting - beating up - killing is allowed

For honor's sake, for smartness' sake
And essentially to ‘protect women and especially the under aged girl-child'
Continued drinking is must, as well as be as ribald as possible…etc.


Women:

Skin color: white or not

Worship: Temple, Mosque or Church

Food: Vegetarian or Non-vegetarian

If Non vegetarian: which meat is partaken

If Vegetarian: which plant is killed

Whatever wishes cannot be expressed at anytime

Whatever activities want to do cannot be done at anytime

Any male wants you
To submit to him with honor and pleasure and smile

To be ready for insults and obscene talks at each moment

Never to try to get educated and smart

To wear and behave exactly the way as per the Moral Guards

Never and never to go out of your home after dusk.. etc…
