Let Her Be

 


Let Her Be

- Dipak Giri (India)

 

A life within a chain

For being soft and tender

A life within a pain

For divide of gender

Let her be free from care

Let her be free from fear

 

Out of the barrier

Like a free warrior

Free from the diffidence

With full of confidence

Let her be hassle free

Let her be shackle free

 

Off marginality

Towards centrality

From an individual

To a universal

Let her be a own name

Let her be a own fame

 

Devoid of suppression

To complete expression

Off from invisible

To fully visible

Let her be a vocal

Let her be a focal

 

Not like uprooted weed

But like a planted seed

From a neglected other

To an empowered mother

Let her be in all forms

Let her be in all norms
