Honour

Come let’u fight my foe 

get your mighty bow and fire

I’m far braver then your grandson

hiding behind me

 

My lead heart is Strong to 

Stand the blow, split into two

And shoot back

To let the blood of Kuru 

flood over the land

that put off the fire in my heart 

 

Hold the bow straight

Put the arrow in the peep and pull hard 

Look at my eyes

Shoot only when you see not 

any fear, For 

 

I’m far braver then your grandson

hiding behind me

 

My blood boils in revenge

For all the days I roam as beast

For all the night my sister die in the Palace

with no hands to hold

with no heart to rest

and with no life to smile 

I long for a million years

to quench my thirst with thee blood, but

I hurt not When you are unarmed, For 

 

I’m far braver then your grandson

hiding behind me

 

Your death is sure

He hiding behind me

Has trapped you securing his petty life

But die in war not in treachery, For

 

I’m far braver then your grandson

hiding behind me

 

Come let’u fight

As in the day you abducts us three

till the last drop of the life flies away

Let us kill each other

and die in honor, For  

 

I’m far braver then your grandson

hiding behind me

 

Son of Ganga

You refused me

a life of honor for your vow

And refused you

a death of honor for your pride

Willfully died by a coward’s hand

 

Is a Woman far less than this warm

Will your mother forgive you 

Category of Women

There were so many archetypal categories of women; as good or bad, as pretty or plain, as virtuous or villainous, as lovely or arrogant and as submissive or aggressive. Being a woman I have seen only one category of women, woman, who wants what she wants. The Book of Esther is a good example of this.

Here Vashti and Esther stands against the king Ahasuerus with his bad company.  The story begins with Vashti refusing to summon before the men and display her beauty. She considers it as too low for her to accept the order made “when the heart of the king was merry with wine”(The Book of Esther, 1:10).  He saw her as object of beauty and wanted to have pride as he has had the best of all women.  For Vashti she is not the show but a woman with self-respect.

Vashti had immense courage to stand against him and risk her life. She gives up her power and position as queen to retain her self-respect.

Here comes Esther with the same courage Vashti had but with a different need. She has a mission to get a safe place for the kids to grow, a hopeful life for the young men and women holding hands in trust and a peaceful death for the people grown old. For this she gets into the contest, which could either make her a powerless queen or doom her life into the lower house. For it says,

In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s chamberlain, which kept the concubines….

– The Book of Esther, 2:14

This contest shows the wickedness of the king and his men. Esther was not the first woman to go to the palace. She has seen so many of these women getting through this, but still wanted this for her people. Winning the contest does not make her in anyway better but only in a powerless state. After 5 years of marriage, she will not even be able to meet her husband in need, without put her life into risk again.

Now Esther stands before the egoistic Ahasuerus to save his people. When Vashti gave a blunt blow at his ego to defend her self-respect, Esther pampers it to get on to his head and get what she wants.

She also deceives Haman by inviting him to the banquet. So the king will not be poisoned against her as it was done against Vashti. When she completely took the power over Ahasuerus, she disclosed her need to save her people and puts an end to the enemy Haman.

The Book of Esther was what God destined to show the power of women. With Moses, He brought in His miracles power to save the people, where as with Esther, He chooses to use the will and courage of women.

This is the same with Vashti. She was never referred as bad. It clearly states that the king made his order when he is obsessed by wine. He feels bad for what happened.  Vashti has been a threat to the king’s men with her intelligent. They took this as an opportunity to doom her.  The story of Vashti did not end there. The voice of this first feminist is been carried on to all the women who came after her. And has taken us till here and even further.

Happy Women’s Day

conquer the world

You choose a wrong path

for such simple task

Costing yours and others too

 

what could be done

with a firm hugs and lovely smile

Now costs millions

Of Life; Yours and others

 

That child who dies of

starving, for your power hunger

Could have been your subject

for a loaf with a smiling face

 

But that was not the need

You just want boundaries

Never the people

A waste grave is enough for you

 

But that child died of starving

wants a home land

to Eat and Sleep with no blowing bombs

to Laugh and Cry  from the heart

 

You did still be a ruler

in the hearts of million life

you cost for the hunger

If bound the world with Love

 

But that was not the need

All you need is a empty grave

Cheer up

Sad!

feel stuck in the hands of fate

Not knowing the way to escape our life

Just stop crying

over the passing clouds

At the end  life waits

with merry and joy

world owes nothing, but YOU

Please Stop…
