Daughters of the Eve
Daughters of the Eve
Oh!! Daughters of the Eve....
Why should you always grieve?
No one here is ought to be believed....
The world has become a maze...
With tricky routes and confusing ways....
All you find is a chauvinistic society...
Of egoistic men with own priority...
You are a prey to the vain customs and traditions....
The so-called 'Sati' and 'Dowry ' took lives of millions...
Generations passed, the victim being the same...
Sacrifice is only yours, by whatever name....
As a daughter, sister, wife or mother....
You are the only one who suffers....
You have to bear the malicious gazes....
And still prove your chastity...
Alas! Goes in vain your loyalty....
And when you try to wage a war..
You'll find your every relationship far....
No one to support thee...
No one to fight for thee...
What all you have is soothing words and piteous hues and cries...
Rise up for thyself....
Wake up from the deep slumber....
Don't be a marshmallow....
And in self-pity....
Don't get yourself wallowed....
Only then, you will be blessed with peace....
And the world would become a better place to live....
