Friends....This year on women's day...i wrote a poem 'Tarnished Feminity".My idea behind penning those verses was to spread the message..rather..to throw light on the deprived women(often termed as Sex workers)..Now this poem has found a place in a collection of poetries..and will be released in january 2009.
Women Hails!
The dawn of march 8
With a tone of Sameness
Joy&happiness all over.
Alas!Feminity-A curse
For alot unseen girls
Who can neither puff
Nor toast women's day.
Born as pure like you and me
Fluttered like butterflies
with dreams and hopes
Reasons of livelihood
Sinful acts of society
Made them impure and isolated
Dwelling in the dark
Leading a life of constant submission
Fear,shame&muted agnition
Nobody to share their pain&grieves
No machine to animate&elevate them,
Not a soul to wipe their tears
And propel their desires..
Withal,they yawn for solace!
Gaging the body
Burrying the sorrows
Bearing the stigma
Folding the wishes
The worthless life continues...
Can they erase their tainted mark
And hope for a better tomorrow?
Do we care to remove their stains?
Shall we spread lights in their lives
By accepting them ingenuously?

hey scrawler...very beautifully expressed indeed!! where can i see ur collection of poetries ?
u r an ex-victorian?
Yes!Proud to be a Victorian!!
it pains when u see little kid as young as 9-11 are forced into prostitution...
the spark in their eyes are dead..
and their dreams are burried..
they hate most their poor mother who sold them to serve lusty anti- socials...
it may be different in europe or US where there are option to choose it as a profession
the goverement machinery in india is largely ineffective..
the NGO's work is not enough... peoples participation is must..
stain.... who r stained.. this little angels .. never....
(scrawler u have brought the feeling.. the real feel...)
Vin..Thanks for stopping by :)
Karmanna...Thanks!
