A Doll
A Doll
"A girl", the nurse announced.
The father grabbed that tender suckling.
His mind loaded with thoughts of
Jewels and paper notes to spend.
Time flies.
Her training period starts at home:
Don't laugh loudly.
Play with dolls, not with guns.
Wear frocks, bangles, earrings.
Don't climb trees, be gentle,
don't quarrel or chat with boys.
Want to learn Karate!
No, go to kitchen, help your mother.
Look after your hair,
Be calm and quiet.
Read the tales of Cinderella,
Sleeping Beauty, Wait for your Prince.
All orders strictly followed,
She never questioned.
Training period comes to an end.
They mould her as a fragile, loyal
Indian woman.
Days passed.
One day, some cunning fox
Infested in her frail body.
Forced to surrender,
She is not trained to protest.
REMARKS:
The authorities failed to tell
The brave tales of Goddess Kali ,
Who beheaded
The one who judged her body.
