Being a woman
Do you repent?
Yes I do
Why?
Because I am a woman.
You repent for being a woman?
I repent for being born a woman
Where love and trust
Are obsolete words.
Where desires find ventilation
In form of rape
Where trust is rewarded with betrayal
Where love accompanies honour-killing
Where there is no haven for children and minors
Dowry deaths and female infanticide are like the morning cup
of tea.
So shouldn’t I repent?
Yes you should
Prompt came the reply
But you should curse your society
Not your birth.
Tears rolled down my cheeks
But my heart was throbbing
A cold chill ran down my spine
My voice was getting chocked
Fear was gripping me in its arms
God! I have dared to protest
Voice my opinion against injustice
What will happen next???
