Yeah, She Is A Girl...So What???

Yes she is a girl, you told me, with a smirk on your face,
yeah she is a girl , so what?
Isn't the same blood flowing in your veins too?
Isn't her every breath ,smile,tear, pain,anxiety,love and hate ,exactly like yours?
Isn't she the biggest survivor in your brutal,chauvinist & selfish world?
Isn't she the one who is fighting for every bit of respect keeping her head high?
And you say with that lust and a sense of disgust ,that she is a girl?
Yeah ,she is a girl , so what?

She is not just a mother ,a sister or a wife ,
putting together the broken pieces of your life,
Neither is she an object of your dreams,

She is more than her body ,she is more than her dress,
She is more than that news, that yesterday you read in the press,
Just like you ,she too is a bird ,with those beautiful wings,
She too wants to fly and she too wants to sing,
But what is wrong with you ,what is bothering you so hard?
What pleasure do you get in turning her songs in her screams?

Yeah I know what gives you jitters and shakes you to the core ,
It's her power that you think will erode your sanctity,
that you have kept since long ,under the aegis of you vanity,
It will prove that she is equal to you and probably better too,
And that will be end of your era...sad but true !

But how long can you stop her ,abuse her & beat her down,
that immanent light will eventually come from horizon,
Cos the more you hit,the more she will rebound,
and remember a day will come when her endurance will find that resonating sound,
Eclipsing your power,vanity, position & finally your self proclaimed crown,

She doesn't want your privilege,
She doesn't want your ring,
The only thing that she really deserves ,
is to be treated like an equal human being.

So next time ,when you say that she is a girl, be graceful,
That the other half of our existence is still beautiful.
