Oh woman, do not be a lady



Do not be scared to run wild
Oh woman, do not be a lady
When man runs wild, he kills
When you run wild, you create


The poetry comes from your element
The music, the dance, the painting
The love, the compassion, comes from you Oh woman!
The faith, the sacrifice, the dedication


They boiled you down to be a lady
Oh woman, do not be a lady
What respect you want to savor?
Of a shackled lady? Of a free woman?


The creation, The destruction, deserves a balance
The destruction is too much now, time for creation
Give yourselves a chance to create
But first create the woman, not the lady


You keep killing the woman in you,
Thinking the man is better
But God created both, who could be better?
The God created woman, The Man created lady


You stayed away from knowledge
You stayed away from love and your own sexuality
You stayed away from life, your rights
Just to be a lady, Oh woman


Who else can be a mother, but you
Who else can nurture, but you
Do not stoop down to be a lady
Oh woman, do not be a lady


"Be a man", they say to give strength
"Be a woman", they rather should say
Your tears are your courage to be honest
Surviving the pain, has been your life since forever


Let the woman in you stay alive and wild
Do not kill it by being a lady
Keep creating like you have always done
Oh woman, do not be a lady

THIS IS amazing!! it shows your maturity of thought and understanding of the woman psychology. I'm seriously awestruck! the style, language, train of thoughts, everything shows that the writer and thinker in Ankur Oberai is still alive :):) PLEASE KEEP WRITING :)
