Queens Of Desire 01 Poem by Subhas Chandra Chakra

Queens Of Desire 01

Rating: 5.0


You think

I am a man,

You say

I am a man

For all around

For everyone else-



But for me

To speak the truth within

I am a queen

As loyal as Draupadi

To the husbands of me

And my life,

My yearnings,

My earnings,

My profession,

My possessions-

Earthly and spiritual.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
While I served in a CBSE school some years ago, I had come across a man of 30 who was serving as an instructor-cum-clerk-cum-entertainer-cum-agent-cum-warden-cum-security guard of the school. He was as helpless as the queen of Pandavas in the epic Mahabharata. He had to please each of his superiors in many ways. The exception was that unlike the queen Draupadi, he was never respected, and was several times beaten by some of the students as well as the public periodically.
That man still continues there with the same job without any exception. I wish Darwin to work in his favour someday...no evolution at all.
