ಕೆಂಪು ಗುಲಾಬಿ
ಅವಳು ದಾಸವಾಳದ ದಳದಂತಿರುವ ದೇವಿ
ಹೂವು ಬಳ್ಳಿ ಮೇತ್ತಿ ಮುತ್ತಿಡುವಂತ ಭೂಮಿ,
ಸನಿಹಕೆ ಸೆಳೆಯುವ ನಗುವಿನ ಮಾಯಾವಿ
ನಿತ್ಯ ಅರಳುವ, ನಲಿದು ನಗುವ ಕೆಂಪು ಗುಲಾಬಿ..
Periods.
Why do we need to hurt her? She already bleeds the blood of creation, Not the periods but disgusting are the minds that taboo menstruation, She's already facing PMS Her face doesn't say it, but her mind's a mess, The "truth" is buried under the dark shadows of newspaper while her cramps tore her apart she is told to whisper, Her voice silenced in a black polythene she is labeled unclean, Yet she is deprived of vital hygiene her plights are left unseen, No ears want to hear her plea Why can't we just let her stayfree? Let's embrace the truth and break taboos apart Menstruation is natural and a vital part, Let's celebrate womanhood unashamed For it's a blessing not to be tamed! - Muttu N
