Inception To Conception To Perception Poem by ANJALI KAKATI

I am woman,
the weaker sex.
but,
From inception,
To conception
To perception,
The world is nothing
but a fetus in my womb
forming, growing, gaining,
Till it is strong enough to live through
The summers and winters,
centuries of ruins and rebuilds.

Yes i am woman,
the weaker sex,
Yet
the world is nothing
But an infant
clinging,
Feeding on my breasts,
till it can bear to hold in its stomach
the feasts of times
and the pangs of famines.

Yes i am woman,
the weaker sex
the bearer,
the nourish er,
the care taker.

From inception,
To conception
To perception.
