Fire Within

I rebelled...I opposed...I protested...

I yelled...I cried for help.

But...I burnt or was burnt alive.

You... Who call your selves "The Protectors"

You were all in " Ethical" deafness.

That day I burnt myself.

Many times I was burnt alive..,

With the corpse of my beloved.

Being a woman... Was a fault of chromosomes !!

But...Why me? Why not you?

Oh..I was burnt alive...

For your tradition..,

For your rituals...

Above all for your cowardice.

It was your defeat...

It was your helplessness...

It was your fear which burnt me.

You took me as your asset.

Not as your better half.

You were afraid ...

As you were unable to protect me.

And...I burnt myself.

I was burnt by the fire within.
