Is she a subject of
torture and suffering?
Is she an object of
prayer and offering?
Is she Rama's Sita
who passes an ordeal?
Is she Krishna's Radha
who undergoes trials?
Is she old-fashioned dress
which to be worn and torn?
Is she a worn-out thing
which to be used and thrown?
No, she is man-equal.
Yes, she is all-equal.
Out of man-made woman
she's Nature made human.
More above the level
of dasi whom one ignores.
Far below the level
of devi whom one adores.
She is equal to man.
She is equal to all.
Out of man-made woman
she's Nature made human.
