Woman

A head turner, a true beauty,
She charms men and women alike,
Graceful and supple, yes,
But she is trapped,
In a sophisticated, hostile body,
That is more a burden than a tool,
A bundle of agony coated in allure,
But all that one sees is the poise and charm,
Ostensibly weak, but built to suffer, her body is no hitch,
She marches ahead, multitasking with ease,
Her instinct beats science,
And the mysteries of the Universe,
It sprouts up in dark times,
Guiding man and illuminating his path,
Gentle, soft, but dominating when needed,
She teaches one to bear pain and to heal when wounded,
Biting her lips, holding her tears,
She slips through life as a daughter, friend, wife and mother,
An enticer, a slave, an object of lust?
She is nothing lesser than a fellow human being.

  3. Really.Raam,even Sri Shankara agreed with Saraswathi Devi on that!
