A woman is like a lake
With deep undercurrents
She is a wrapped gift for many
Clothes, the wrappers!!!
A woman is a question
No, thousands of questions
A woman is an experiment
And not its object
A woman for many is a mere “bearer”
And not a strong union
A woman’s body is a battlefield
Where much war frenzy bit the dust
Many tall talks crashed
A woman is a witness,
To a failed revolutionary
To a renounced holy man
To the wavering minds
To ideological boomerangs
The smile that welcomed the moustache babies on their
exhausted return!
-Santhosh Kumar Kana
