Woman Of The International Womans Day Poem by lalitha iyer

how do you look today
are you sweet, did he say so?
are you soft, did he say so?
do you need others to say so?
woman of today, sleep on your hand pillows
and sleep throughout night without any bellows.

how is she, the woman of international womans day
is she pro man or anti men
is she virgin or un virgin
is she purdahed aor pampered
wearing nothing but a bikini
does she cooks or eats from hotels
does she counts or ice creams lick

woman, who are you, are you mad
is she mad, stupid and idiotic
ashamed of this stupid day
i get up early morning and make tea
cook and bathe and run to office
and come back at night, wash my vessels
and sleep and again get up in the morning
and repeat my lovely duties of a woman
ha ha ha, do you follow me
i am a woman proud, so i cook cook cook
no book, book, book,
i tea make, tea make, tea make, snacks too if you please
and wash clothes, wash, wash,
all worries and tensions and guilts i shall undertake
am i an undertaker
he says you, you, you, i am the cause of all miseries of all
i need treatment, electric or sticktric or handtrick
thank you vomiting womanhood, baby your man
and suckle him with love and drop the foetus
that is your job, you see you are a great woman of the day.
