English Translation: Ch J Satyananda Kumar
Is it so, offspring of Arya?
Perhaps that may be so
For, she was clad in diminutive garb
Ravana might have hankered after Sita
In the bated hot breath of finding Draupadi in a swin suit
Keechaka might have attempted to enrage her modesty
In her half naked get-up Ahalya
Might have blown off the mind of the king of heavenly gods
That might be correct
If I say anything more than that…
You would accuse it is a mere blame-game
Manu dharma which is on sentry duty of preserving
The fattened male chauvinistic hegemony soaring high since ages
Disregarded the concern of the daughter-in-law’s self respect
And ruled out that mother-in-law’s thrashing is not a criminal offence
In this pious land where the feet of the Leader who shamelessly flaunts three wives are respectfully touched,
Each one dares to lay a hand to dig out the confidential antecedents of womanhood
In the name of virginity test
While the thing between two legs alone sets a direction
Instead of the one between two ears that ought to be
The gallows to the humanity
Is indeed the viagra that is bragged as virility!
If the myths are still flowing as perennial rivers in your perverted mindset
Portraying that the upward stream currents get defiled
Even if a kid drinks water down stream
Even after you proved beyond doubt that
You can not learn even an iota from the ever expanding human relations
Beyond the archaic similes and metaphors of Banana leaf-thorn, black-bee and booze
Yes, it is true,
How many sickles can we sharpen oh man?
Except inventing a new weapon
Which can slash thousand tree trunks at one go!
