In This World Of Men..! ! Poem by GEETIKA Saini

In this world of Men
It's hard being a Woman
For one, you see..
We don't ever belong,
And We are constantly told
Of moving out and Managing Homes..! !

Then..,
There is this long List of don't do's and do's..
The Fine Lines that exist...
Here and there in every criss,
How our bodies aren't just our own
How we are less Human
And Goddesses and all..! !

We carry pride, We are told
Oh! ! It's burdens and turmoils..! !
How we are expected to be pretty, Submissive and Quaint..
How our voices aren't meant to be Raised! !
How we all are "Golden Caged..! "

Opinions, We aren't to Have
Choices, We aren't to Make
Decisions, We aren't to Take
Religion, Relations, Traditions..
Are all that, They gave...! !

The Glorious Past we are meant to Uphold..
Wonderful Examples we are meant to Set..! !
And all, When somehow done...
We are still judged and tried! !
In the courts of ' Values' and 'Rights'..

So you see...,
Like I said before..,
In this world of Men
It's hard being a Woman! !
