EVERY MENSES IS A HOLY SACRIFICE
Recession takes over the world like
A twister untamed and
Every corporate believes in
Cutting down the wages to reduce loss!
We are losing everything Comrade:
The rights we got in yesteryears
After blood soaked long fights…
They, the one who created all these,
Ate away all the economic relief packages…
How bitter is this greedy capitalistic world,
Communist world is of no exception!
When will we get a humanistic world?
* * * *
‘Some female employees get more than
One period per month!
This fraudulent practice
Cause drastic loss in productivity,
A corporate Boss shouts,
Already they waste too much time in toilets!
‘RED MENSTRUAL BAND’ is
The best solution, the Boss laughed…
Females have to wear it during periods and
Computers can easily note down!
(Already toilet access is limited electronically!)
How bitter is this money monger’s world!
Every menses is a holy sacrifice!
She bleeds for the future!
Every woman, whether employee or not,
She deserves a minimum of
Three days rest during periods…
This is a basic human right!
A bitter poet bleeds for you,
Sad, he is always realistic!
Dear CEOs, Presidents…
If you don’t understand,
Just cut open a small vein
And bleed for some time!
The rich get richer poorer get poorer as always you raise a great point premji. regards
the last lines are terrible and masterly. sharp thoughts
A seared conscience does not bleed.I mean the money mongers of these days....worse than Shylock.
You might be one of the sparks needed to change the world, go on! My heart ,as many many others will support you, Spread your word! May your poems be heard where is needed and make a difference . Cheers for a better, smilingly world! Thank you.
I join your appeal, dear Prem! My respect to your attitude to the world problems.
THERE'S A PLACE CALLED BURIAL GROUNDS NO BLEEDING AT ALL! YOU AMAZED ME BROTHER!
So true. And bleed for some time, wow.
One of the best poem i have read
such a kind poem- what a nice idea and helpful to women
Man forgets he is the son of a woman. Prem, your poem makes him to take note of that truth.
Premjiiiiii oh this is an outcry!!! You are pleading for the women for justice in this cruel profit oriented world. you have brought in a wonderful theme..... thank you, thank you. thank you.
truth..truth...the absolute truth
Premji, you have without mincing words expressed your convictions, stark exploitation by employers. one can't miss your dark humour too. Its rare to find a man so compassionate as you. great title. championing women's rights... impressive work.
i met a poet....a true poet
Prem! Unbelievable, so you, a volcanic outburst from Mars for Venus!As Ravi says you do belong to the nearly extinct tribe of true poets - fighters for justice. I am proud to say I know you. Angel
vow! great .frankly i did not expect this.apart from bleeding in the triangle your arguments on the wages etc are simply superb.no one can bebelied. the economist brought the fundamental theory "therory of diminishing return" to fuel growth by reducing price.unfortunately it works on the reverse,while renowned economist at top keep a gentle form. in olden days poets were acting as curtain raisers.glad to know such tribe are alive,. thanx ravi.
They'll do anything for their pound of flesh - but this one takes the cake! You rant with poetic power and passionate conviction, Premji. Your passion for social justice does you credit. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Am dumbfound... At this powerful write spitting bleeding fire at the ones in power... And so considerate of you.. Only if men knew the hardship of it, would they just wait at least to listen...
Noone ever realizes the pain a women goes through... No one ever realizes he came to this world because his mother bleeded for him. no one ever realizes there is a constant sacrifice behind every life.
Powerful slap against gendered hegemony, Premji. Perhaps your words will bring shame to the evildoers instead of the false shame they are trying to place on our mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters.
very nice and thoughtful of you Premji for writing about this truth.
Unbelievable treatment meted out to the females - outrageous and needed this piece from your powerful pen.
As always - strong message with right choice of words. Congratulations!
a poem screaming with truth ...
Dark humour....powerful lash at money minded, authoritarian idols....
you have depicted so well prem sir...hats off
