Stree Shakti

StreeShakti

----------------

Gone are the days when she bowed down to force

The centuries of endurance has taught her lessons enough.

She can no longer tolerate the shouting from the father

Asking to shut herself in the kitchen.

Nor does she have ears for her brother boss

Who can't have her in his group of friends.

Her husband she will listen to, only on her own terms.

Those who thought were strong, mighty and powerful

Please step out, for curtains are down on your show.

She will listen to the father

Who speaks with kind concern for the welfare of her future;

The brother who is capable only of affectionate talk

and goads her to enjoy the privileges he has got;

The husband who cares and understands,

Accepting her as his equal, a part of his self.

The woman of the times -She sees a friendly pat work better than a wooden stick.

Kind words provoke her into compassion for all life.

For her to listen, you have to speak her language.

And she will talk, only when you become her and yield to listen.

Times have changed and it is her turn to run the show now.

Better be audience and simply watchThere is a happy game to go.
