The New Age Woman

Yes, I am a woman, a phenomenal benediction

Rising from ashes, I am born out of conviction

The new age 'Shakti' in bold new 'avatar'

I refuse to be intimidated barred or scarred

Housewife to homemaker metamorphosed

Reckon me now a multifaceted force

Manager planner advisor rolled into one

The new definition of new age woman

Gone are times I was commodified

At my new address, I am not vandalized

'No domestic violence' proclaims my house plate

'No tolerance for teasers' shrieks my office space

With spring in my feet and spark in my gut

I refuse to remain shut in the rut

Oh!' She is just a woman' I refuse to buy

I stride on with my head held high

Linchpin of values, anchor of the family boat

I am the bearer of life, not a sacrificial goat

No more subjugation no more Adam's wrath

I rewrite my destiny I carve my own path

No more a weakling at mercy of men

Shattering stereotypes I have come out of the den

Sole male preserves are crumbling one by one

In the face of a striding phenomenal woman

Yes I Have Arrived, The New Age Woman
