WOMAN
 A boon on earth,
Yet treated with scorn
Charged as “weaker sex”
Which makes her feel vexed
Dutiful in daily chores
Committed to the core
Genuine to a friend
To a foe, a sharp weapon

O ye men!
No more is she a weaker sex
Don’t treat her as ‘second sex’
May appear a sweet dolly
But would not surrender to folly

Now she can explore any space
 For she is already in space

A woman can be

A creator or a destroyer
 A ruler or a follower
A law maker or a law breaker
A supervisor or a subordinate
 What you make of her Is in your hands….
