Pain of that fall still stings
I complain
Complain to myself everyday
You could have been someone
Why are you a nobody ?
Where’s the dream
The little you saw
Where’s the castle
You build with a straw
Where’s the courage that could shake the world
Where are you
I fail to find
Where’s your sword
Where’s your armour
Why do you sit there in the corner
Refusing to see eye to eye
With what have you lost
Why don’t you respect yourself
After all the wars you have fought
Why don’t you count them as a war
Why do you run behind
The one battle you couldn’t win
And might fight someday
Once you regain your strength?
Isn’t a wounded soldier allowed some rest ?
May be the bird will fly again
She has just taken a fall
And might star trying again
But hasn’t she just found peace
She has just found her breath
Let’s wait till we find her pulse
And push her to fly again ?

The lady in white
To the lady in white scarf and an old saree,
From humble beginnings you seem
With the glow of a day’s hard work you gleam
We are walking on the same path
And you see me walking behind
You step aside
Far towards my right
I couldn’t understand
And soon realised…
I just want you to know that
You don’t need to step aside
For me to walk
Because I have worn clothes that look expensive
And my beginnings not so humble
I have worked hard today
So that I can make a living
So have you
So that you can have food on your plate
We share the same hard work’s sweat
You definitely more than me
No, you don’t need to step aside
For me to walk
You are a human
And so am I
The land we walk on
Is both of ours
Regardless of our ends
Regardless of our beginnings…
The ‘Queen’dom
It feels nice when a woman understands another
When a woman respects her own dignity
When she cherishes her defeats
As much as her victory
When she learns to value
Every little thing that makes her a woman
And when you do
You don’t blame the tenderness you pursue
Or the pain that is only in your part.
You know it is a privilege
That no one else could imagine
You are someone
Who has an entire world to define
Her wit slays
Entire population of people
Who while being fairly alive
Forget the reason behind their existence.
It’s not that she can’t rule
But to bring up warriors being hidden
Is her nature
Neither does God step forth
To display
His might in the dark is deeper
She takes no pleasure
In demeaning the other
Cz to look down upon someone
Is far beyond her stature
To be great is to bend
In front of the ones you love
Won are many kingdoms
At the cost of thousand lives
Built is just one
With the sacrifice of million lights
They think she is weak
She can’t rule
Poor people never realise
Movement needs fuel
The combustion of emotions and honour
Of being selfless, enormous courage and valour
Had they really understood what being a woman is..
Wouldn’t they have been one too ?
