There is an iron mold
hard, stiff and cold
they all have to fit in
goddess, bitch,
wife or whore
each in their own frame
and why complain?
they have the pedestals
the whore-houses
homes and tombs
what good is empowerment
without a man
work for him ,birth progeny
provide pleasure
take his name
why complain?
Feminism is only
for the mad single women
who waste their lives
asking questions
in vain
you the good women
must be seen not heard
you the "devi"
the maa and the behan**
why complain?
*mother, ** sister but here used together to indicate sexist abuses in Hindi
