Beyond Those Lines

The goddess of beauty,

Her jewels adorned;

From head to toe,

She's in the zone.

A lotus in hand,

The eyes of a doe,

Her crimson lips,

That all you can know.

The symbols of patriarchy,

They're out in the open;

Every turn you take,

They're the words that are spoken.

The vision that doesn't go

Beyond a certain line,

You still expect them

To get all these plights?

"A goddess"

"She's of beauty",

restricts them each time,

To never go beyond

And look at those rimes.

The bearer of power,

Of strength that's divine;

The converger of Tridevi

In her holiest shrine.

The creator of gods,

She could rule the world alone;

But our traditions are behind,

They just can't let it go.

The laws of Manu,

Their every single line;

A push to the end,

Again,

Like each time.

She's the goddess ferocious,

She's the goddess of freaks;

A universe of chaos,

She's the unholy breach.

Dark and blood thirsty,

She's come by as Kali;

The violence of Shakti,

The destroyer indeed.

She's the goddess of war,

She's Durga and Bhairavi,

The destroyer of many

polluted demons,

their deeds.

The symbols of power,

Of feminism is she;

The merger of values

You now can't unsee.

The strength, the love,

The emblem of fear;

The heroes left behind,

She's the only leader needed here.

This

Is just a chapter

In a book that needs to be renewed,

In the minds of the people

Who have forgotten the truth.

The stories passed down,

They are just reminders;

Of the ones who have owned

The stars and the ground.
