Poetry  :  Daughter's Verse   ⬆️

Poet  :  Jotsna Jari
.
 At the time of birth...  Daughter, 
 you are made of clay & compassion
 Surrounded by the duties 
 of a very hot & cold world...  
 you came to be 
 a prisoner...   
.
 Dear daughter, 
 the crooked eyes of civilization 
 have smeared ink on you 
 Those who think of you 
 as a commodity to satisfy 
 their desires 
 You will destroy
 their dirty dreams & pursuits...   
.
 Yes Daughter,  know this
 because you will bear a child in womb 
 you will burst out with joy and 
 straighten all crooked smiles. 
.
 As much as you caress
 with soft pink lips
 You will protest loudly 
 at the disrespect...   
 Blow up...
.
 Mix the volcanic glow 
 with affection & compassion 
 Then let the injustice
 burn out... 
💛
