The Belated Revelations Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

In the field of entertainment and leisure,
The role of women is to satisfy
The audience by visual presence
And address the elite community.

There was a sense of entitlement
To such women as courtesans, dancers,
Actresses, modals and receptionists.
Most of them were there knowing the risk there.

With the advent of women empowerment
In education and employment,
Prosperity linked with sex is undesired
With dignity of women on the increase.

There is a tendency among actress
Who had been to fame two decades back,
To come with tales of sexual assaults
From the veterans who helped them rise up.

Is it for them to address their guilt
Or to settle their score with those veterans?
Can it amount to be rape as aspired?
Be time and practice the base of judgment.
