The Rest are Women

We worship women.

We love women as mothers.

We seek affection

From women as sisters.

We are men.

We place women,

On a pedestal, we need her.

We use her, we misuse her

We are men.

We love our wife

We hate young daughters to be born.

We flirt with women,

We abuse her,

We are men.

Behind every man is

a successful woman.

We love her to be,

in the shadows.

We are men.

When woman dares! and

Gets down her pedestal.

We hate her.

We fear her.

We are men.

We worship her as Durga,

Or rever her as Maha Kali.

Wonder! Why God fears

to get down from the pedestal?

When shadows rebel,

and pedestals crumble,

When dreams are dead,

And deities gone.

The offerings will stop from all,

Shall ignore the Lord.

We are men.

The Rest are Women,

Feared, hated and burnt.

Can man never love women

the women as they are?
