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… 

💛
