Women Are Not Helpless Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Women are not helpless
Wednesday,17th October 2018

You are rubbing salt
it is an insult
my wounds may aggravate
I have nothing more to state

Do you know how disaster fell?
I witnessed the living hell
everybody was pouncing upon me as a good pry
I failed all their attempted tries

I have stood like the rock
even though I ran out of stock
with all the patience
it was really no pretense

Now, you state about your failure
No words can lure me now
I have come off the worst period
I shall now need to support or words

The world has taken note of the helpless woman
but they treated me as human
I have withered all the storms
I am safe with the children and stay as the warm mother

I can look after myself well
and tell
the whole of the world
I have my own and new fold
