BLOGOVERSARY WEEK SPECIAL- FOUR


DIABOLICAL DEMONS

He goes about bragging
his male prowess
he has only sons...
no weaklings(read girls)

In his presence
his wife of almost two decades
is still only seen
not heard(read dare she?)

This man
is going today
from house to house
finding little girls (read tradition)
for tomorrow morning's Puja

Who says Kaali
had killed all the demons?
some still walk free.

    1. Girls ARE'NT weaklings but their role as the 'protected' for centuries has strengthened this skewed perception.
      Violence can happen to anyone man or woman including Rape but the social(read condemnation,shame,stigma),physical(sometimes in the lack of awareness unwanted pregnancies) and other consequences for women are far more grave then those for men.
