Woman On Pavement

Woman On Pavement

1 min
24.6K


She lies there on the pavement,

Feeding her child, at her side sits another

Begging for alms next to her sleep

Her husband in a full drunken stupor.


Some pass by, throwing coins at the child,

Some pass by, looking the other way,

Some stare at her exposed breast.

To them, it is not a mother feeding her child;

But a scene for their wet dreams.


The woman stares back, but too tired;

to cover her self with her torn saree.

He walks on, assured of today's wet dream;

Sex has no form in the mind of a pervert,

A breast becomes one and the same,

Whether it is his mother's, his daughters,

His sisters, grandmothers, wives, lovers.


Or a beggars' it make no difference.

It is one, and the same,in his sick mind.
