Poet of the week

POET OF THE WEEK

Hey guys and gals I hope that all those who celebrate have had a wonderful Christmas and/or holidays.

This week we are celebrating a wonderful poet +amita sharma an amazingly talented lady, her writing is rich, vivid and diverse. Amita is also a wonderful source of encouragement within the community. Well done Amita


Today I would like to talk about something very crucial . I don't know , how would you react !
,but the truth wouldn't change by closing eyes .
We called us modern . however the facts remain same . The women have been Struggling since ages . They are still consider as a commodity
When she seeks a freedom from this imprisonment .
When she asks for her equality in this society where people still see her as an entertainment or a piece of flesh .
Their eyes sticks to her body and can't seek her soul where purity lies .
How pathetic !
We are heading to 21st century , but our mind still lingers to our backwards roots .
I am ashamed of being victim of this so called culture .
It has been said that , one who doesn't raise one's voice against injustice is also culprit .
Please ruminates on this and ask for the equality .
Be confident and raise your voice against the victimisation .
