You are not a slut.
You are
not a whore.
You are
not what people think.
You
don’t deserve the abhor.
You
didn’t choose polyandry,
It was
a nonsensical fate.
A man’s
sly desire,
But you
get all the hate.
We hail
Karn’s sacrifices.
We all feel
his pain.
He is
held like a hero.
Yours go
in vain.
When
the rules of a game
Became
bigger than your honour.
The
respected men, shame,
Pushed
humanity to a corner.
Turned
a deaf ear to your screams
As you
were disrobed to their gaze.
The
honourable men errant extremes
But
dirt is shoved in your face.
A
symbol of rape victim
Slut
shamed by the society.
A
fodder of the chauvinists,
A
pacifier of their insecurity.
But you don’t need our sympathy,
You are
fire in disguise.
The
sexism,however, is thriving
So I
incessantly despise.
You are
not a slut.
You are
not a whore.
You are
not what people think.
You
don’t deserve the abhor.
