She Poem by Valsa George
She
She dies a hundred times
In the throes of spite and neglect
In the agony of betrayal
In the shame of defeat
Yet alive with charred spirits
And deep burns that shall not heal.
Shut in the cage of servitude
She lives an ugly duckling!
Fed on taunts and threats
Drunk on slander and slight
Smothered by age old mores
Manacled by custom and tradition.
A door mat under crushing feet
An expendable commodity
Bartered away
Or
Bought at the highest bid.
A toy to play with
A curio wrapped in folds
To be disrobed before feasting eyes
And torn apart by man's beastly lust
A chattel to be pawned and pledged.
A chalice to be cast away
When emptied of its contents.
Yet she is silent
Mute like a dumb animal
But Lo! There lies an ember
Down beneath the dying hearth.
As the wind veers around
The smouldering charcoal would blaze
Growing into a wild fire
With tongues of flame leaping into the sky
That would ravage the Earth
Leaving nothing
But,
Heaps of coal
And piles of ash!
a lovely story of a the Goddess of our motherly earth..... be loved for ever...... this poem really touching my heart..... be blessed for care for ever love Bought at the highest bid. A toy to play with A curio wrapped in folds To be disrobed before feasting eyes And torn apart by man's beastly lust A chattel to be pawned and pledged. A chalice to be cast away When emptied of its contents.
So many heartless, rurhless deeds are being performed around our world, I admire your write Valsa, She,
YOUR POEM IS AMAZING ! The mind of the - She- is vivisected and the true portrayal of her condition rents the heart. The incident in Delhi an the eve of the New Year is atrocious. And many more such incidents are following these days.I fully endorse V.S.'s views..
Dear Valsa thank you for taking the step to write these sad words.How wrong this treatment of woman.And this is the 21St century.
it’s a proactive writing for woman and a lesson writing for those who think we're civilized people still/// like it
How woman is tortured and her oppose is neglected to listen by the men or by the society has been astutely and incisively delineated in this poem. Often she becomes victim of rape and murder. She keeps silent and she has nothing to do. As you have written.... Yet she is silent / Mute like a dumb animal / But Lo! There lies an ember...A super hit poem.10
