Anguish And Sorrow Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

I felt deep anguish and sorrow
For those who faced grim future tomorrow
No livelihood and nothing to feed at home
In public also not very much welcome

How many girls live on bar shows?
Their entire life is at their door steps and grows
With all the dependence on income from the dance
Life comes at standstill if pubs are raided by chance

Human greed for women has remained same in all ages
The beautiful ladies are always confined in cages
If not kept as bonded without any kind of liberty
But has always faced wrath from society and pity

Not these ladies alone but farm laborers too
How much torture and pain they have to pass through!
House maids and girls working at public places face same ire
We have nothing except expressing some sympathy and admire

I don’t claim my self as social worker
Yet something is needed to be done for their welfare
Females are to be treated with honor and dignity
Not only gender sake but as live human entity

She might remain sex object for certain age
But that can not be pushed and printed as dark page
Many excel in their prime age and show the worth
Talent is never in shortage or felt any dearth

Over all stages females have been very much gloried
Yet we hear the tales of atrocities and get horrified
We are still behaving as if they are meant to be slaves
Take them to any extreme corner and choose way to behave

Time has now come to rise above pretty criminal mind
They must have honorable position and we need to find
There is no use to pick them from the road and subject rape
It is slur on our culture and almost a visible slap
