don't kill me mother


three times i was a female prepared to come in this world but each time i died for reasons stereotypical
first time when my mother saw a female beggar on the road beaten and exploited
second time when the society including the inlaws demanded a son because a girl is a burden on the family
and third time when my mother had a miscarriage
the fourth time i came as a boy but this time my mother died
why? the reason is simple
she too is a woman
first time she saw only a weak side of a girl second time she was supressed by the society's conventional psyche
and third time she bore a child for eight months in her womb but lost when it was really needed
atlast she died by giving a son
the moral is how many times a woman has to ascend the gallows .
a woman has been given such beautiful power to give birth to children,children who bring happiness in one's life,be it a boy or a girl.
appreciate the beauty of a woman and her innate power .
killing her is no justice let her live and spread beauty.
