The Dawn

There was no disparity 

between us when 

deity molded Us.

There was no discrepancy, 

between us 

when we were placed maliciously.

There was no distinction 

until I acknowledged, 

the role of mother and he,

evolved as a hunter.

But was the preference, 

made this conflict between us?

There was a period, 

when I was espoused 

at an early age. 

There was a period, 

where I was burnt alive,

In the caption of the practice,

to survive the wild beast 

with respect.

There was a period, 

where I was restricted from 

knowledge and got gifted 

with silverware.

But there was a juncture, 

which I overcame with, 

perseverance by following 

the authority within.

When the days would arrive?

when society values my chromosome 

without blaming them?

When do those days arrive?

when I get seen equally,

not just as a lineage machine,

Of reproduction.

When do those days arrive?

when civilization accepts that 

Deity is nothing without a mother, 

the woman?

When those days arrive, 

where I don’t see an offspring 

of my gender being 

thrown into the garbage?When do those days arrive? 

When do those days arrive?

where does a youngster of my gender doesn’t get burnt in the name of caste or dowry or as an acid victim?

When do those days arrive?

when I don’t get hunted 

by the wild beast,

by sexually and verbally?

where I feel secure walking, 

and a child of my gender can 

play alone in the deserted boulevards?

When do those days arrive?

when I can attend the functions and 

Sacred niches during those painful days.

Where my taboo will be lifted, 

through the eyes of the superstitions.

When do those days arrive? 

when people stop the rumor, 

by acknowledging the resilience in my form.

by accepting a unique personality in me!

When do I get addressed with analogies 

as soft sacrifice behind the bars of enclosures and thorns?

When? When?

Probably, 

I may not attain it until I respect myself.

Probably, 

I may not attain it when I persist in my freedom from this society.

Probably, 

I may not attain it until I start thinking with heart along with intellect while being in love.

Probably, 

I may not attain this when I get blinded by the false promises of the leaders through the media.

I will attain.

with a promise made to me, 

with an inclination toward education,

and self-esteem.

I will attain,

even without the support of my family, 

but not without my self-motivation.

I will attain without my friend's brace, 

But by revolving against my companions by condemning the patriarchal comments and at the same time not hating my opposite gender.

I will attain this by supporting my gender, and myself in my time of need.

I will attain this by being a true feminist, a human, not just in terms, but by seizing movement, not just for myself, but for nobles, across the grassroots.

I will attain this, 

by creating an empathy-based gender be it a small initiative with my art and words which are repetitive which the universe hears.

I will attain this, when I express my emotions not to impress the audience, as entertainment, but to educate them with a message of my worthiness in their life.

Probably, I will attain this when Adams gets compassion with me and by sharing my facet dated to our inception.

Those days are not far apart, as it dawns.

As the artist in me speaks up loud.

I am not a woman by advent, 

but an artist can accentuate, 

any lifeform.

Art is not limited to expression or entertainment they are a way to 

define a change that we want to see.

Each day is a new day,

unleash the forms 

which you are capable of, 

which I acknowledged.

Engrave your mind, 

to emanate better 

the aspect of your soul.

Raise an artist in yourself, where rays of hope will get dawn through the gleam of art.
