THE DISTRESSED WOMAN

She is a distressed woman
she is an impoverished  woman.
Her hairs brownish, dry and disheveled.
Her eyes blind-folded
Her hands are tied behind her back
a representative of
impoverished women
across the world.
Her mouth is gagged
ears shut by solid lead
her shoulder bones project, prominent
resembling an arch.
Her breasts are flat
her stomach too is flat
both looking like plains.
Her flat stomach
is burning with hunger
with none taking
care to provide succour.
Her hands and legs 
are slender
looking like the twigs of
a bush or tree.
Her clothes are shabby.
Unlike her hands
her legs are not tied.
Of what use with
her legs remaining free.
Despite all her plight
she keeps on moving
unaware of the directions she takes.
But she keeps on moving
oblivious of the
dangers on the way…
It is her fate

It is her destiny…..
