Pandora opens the box of miseries;
Eve is tempted by the satan
Why must it be 'her' everytime - ?
the cause of all sufferings ?
A husband never burns himself -
On the funeral pyre of his wife.
Why must it be always that -
Women wear purdah -
( why not men close their eyes instead ?)
- & be created from the rib of Adam ?
( When she is the one who gives birth to man !)
Why must it be the woman who is the seductress ?
Leading men astray , in all those tales ;
How cleverly does 'he' put 'his' weakness on 'her' shoulders ;
And imprisons 'her' in bonds forever.
