Woman's Day



O patriarchy!
give me a chance
to wade in my Ma's womb.
Do not abort my dreams,
let me struggle and come out.

Give me a chance
to sprout , grow bigger.
Let me feel the sun-rays,
dance with rain-drops,
embrace the fog of winter.

Give me a chance,
to celebrate my birthdays,
failures and success alike.
I will fall down and hurt myself,
to stand up and bounce back.

Give me a chance 
for my wings to soar,
like a bird or an aircraft.
let my fins touch the ocean-bed
to discover the beauty of reefs.

Give my pen a chance.
my ink will flow 
to influence lives. 
Permit me to be influenced
by my Ma's teachings.

Give me a chance
to choose and vote.
see me bloom and blossom,
into a lady and 
you will not regret.
let me survive and 
mankind will thrive, I promise.

Happy Women's Day to all the readers. 

Thousands of girl-child did not live to celebrate this day, every-day. A mother who does not differentiate her off-springs on the basis of gender , a lady who is not afraid to call a spade a spade, a lady who uplifts another struggling lady , a mother who stands up for her abused married daughter , a mother who does not shy to face the pedophile is a true feminist.

 A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men. – Gloria Steinem

  3. No matter how advanced the technology is these days, the mindset however still has to come out of the cave man's age when it comes to gender equality.
    A powerful message Kalpana. I so agree you that there are many genuine feminists in and around us who are not just arm chair propagandist.

  12. Ahaa, its good conversation on the topic of this piece of
    writing at this place at this webpage, I have read all that,
    so now me also commenting here. I have been surfing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any
    interesting article like yours. It's pretty worth enough
    for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
    There's certainly a lot to learn about this issue. I really
    like all of the points you've made. http://Foxnews.org/

One of the best decision i ever made was contacting Dr Otonokpo to help me get my lover back, I was life filled with happiness after i contacted Dr Otonokpo because he didn't just bring my lover back to me he also made our love for each other more unique and superb.
