Her eyes sharper than the sharpest object
like shattered blue glass
speechlessly asking
why this facade?
you believe and bow in front of the unknown and unseen
yet, my existence in flesh and blood seems too unpleasant.
*****
This poem is inspired by a recent post by Punam, https://paeansunpluggedblog.wordpress.com/2019/10/18/disappointment/.
Every day girls and women in various different places are chastised for their gender. We are blessed with a life where our existence is celebrated and so I feel it’s our duty to speak up on behalf of and in unison with those who aren’t so fortunate.

Well said, Pallavi! I long for the day when our male counterpart would be able to set themselves free from their fear of the feminine and accept us as equals in our journey of human evolution and enlightenment.

Thank you Rosaliene for your read and comment. Sincerely appreciate it. I will say things are changing and there are many men too who not only support but themselves are feminists. But yes, miles to go before “we” sleep. 🙏
