THE GENDER IMBALANCE
Jernail S Aanand
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jernail_Singh_Anand?
If you go to anywhere,
You find men and men
And few women
Are they really small in number ?
No, they are forced within
The four walls.
Now 'thankfully',
Homes have lost two walls
And roof too is cracked
And we can see the eternal prisoners
Enjoying sunbath and fresh air
On the outskirts of the darker times
Men supply the shortages
Of female colleagues
With a powerful dose
Of imagination.
Which mind is free
From feminine fantasies?
If both the sexes had got
Equal opportunities,
Civilization would have
Fared (faired) better,
Than limping on one leg
The other tied with apron-strings.
They are neither weaker
Nor dependent on men,
Having endured untold suffering
They have proved their steadfastness
It is time to decide new mores
So that the balance is restored.
Forget it only at your peril
For every boy, a girl is born
Somewhere in the world
No human crook can belie
Gods' sense of balance
Which we men both deny and defy.
It is a unique intuition of the poet that gods make no distinction and one male for one female is born in the world. Still women are always at the receiving end. This poem is a bold feminist poem by Dr. Jernail Singh Anand, the great world poet regarded as the greatest poet of modern times.
Poetess and Author Dr Maja Herman Sekulic from Serbia said about him: "greatest poet among philosophers and greatest philosopher among poets"
