HER BODY -A CHTHONIAN MACHINE OR DESECRATED SHRINE?
It was meant to be a temple,
But sadly defiled by devils,
Used as an entertainment park,
Left it with bruise & burn marks.
From the moment of birth,
Worth was judged by slenderness of girth,
Object of male fantasy,
Of her body dimensions, a harsh reality.
Call her body as chthonian machine,
Or a dilapidated & desecrated shrine,
Indifferent to spirit that inhabits,
As they scratched & they bit.
Dresses are designed in a way,
Highlighting breasts & butts, they stay,
Body is never accepted on its own term,
Here, where patriarchs dictate norms.
Advertising a car or bottle of beer,
Need projection of her body in scanty wear,
Objectification of body has become a cult,
Baring all with pride, no feeling of insult.
