The Missing Women Poem by Chitra Bisht
The Missing Women
Living in a big joint family
Blessed with brothers and daddy
Still no affection from anybody
Woman, where art thee?
Big metropolitan city, nuclear family
Good job, education, dresses with dignity
Still not recognized for her abilities
Woman, where art thee?
Remote, primitive village
A life of hardships, a challenge
Surrendering to patriarchy,
Woman, where art thee?
Times have changed, so has history
Doing countless jobs, that don't count
Thou still seems like a nonentity
Woman, where art thee?
Will this neglect ever change
Isn't this indifference, strange
Stand up for yourself, shun all pity
Woman, create your own legacy
A great live of thought, dear poet. For the woman to become self-reliant and independent, she needs to acquire self respect, which she lacks now, because of the chauvinistic acts and attitude on the society.
Wonderful poem. All said and done, it still is a man's world. Women cannot and should not wait for the society to change. She need to change herself. She need to live for herself. She need to decide her life. And decide what she'll do with her life, body and brains…
