Analysis of Spirit of the feminine
Shireen Munshi 2005 (Uttar pradesh)
Divinity pure; soul is suffocated
Woman and man are indeed discriminated
Snatching my organs, pulling my roots
For them I am just a lewd juice
Beads of my necklace are broken
But the thread is sacred as tied
They dominate, expecting to accepting
Haven't they heard of the lioness rising
Their fingerprints on my body
Their name followed by mine
Fathers and husbands; sons and brothers
Stepping on their weakened lovers
Rising from ashes, a living from dead
Fiery essence with ruth in the eye
Aura of a goddess, smile as heavenly charisma
We are the origin of life and balancers of karma
Dazzling celeste time to equate
Finishing the patriarchy rule
Seated on the throne; love bestowed
Diminished dominance, sattva atmosphere approached
