Shakti

Much before they marched Bra less in the streets,

Much before they took out placards,

Demanding release from bondage of their casings fragile,

O..so fragile perceived.

Much before that SHE existed,

In many manifestations worshiped,

Wielding power over men,

Indeed surrendering themselves beneath HER feet.

Dropping their baggage of guilt,

Seeking HER forgiveness and blessings,

And then returning to raping and killing HER embodiment,

That in every woman lives in the core of her being.
