A version of equity in equality

I ask for no special place,

I ask for no special status,

I ask for no special concessions,

Acknowledge what is mine, as mine,

It isn’t in your power to give,

It isn’t in my nature to plead,

I wasn’t meant to serve you,

You weren’t meant to boss me,

I ask not for your share,

I’m not ready to forsake mine,

We were meant to live in harmony,

Under the same canvas, we were meant to thrive.

Look around you,

Nature celebrates her female tribe,

Be it a peacock’s search for his bride,

Or a mammoth’s matriarchal pride,

Be it a koel’s call for his mate,

Or a serpent ‘s dream date,

Look around.

Acknowledge my space to live,

You are here, so I am,

You are here, because I am,

Weaker sex was coined by humans like you and me,

Nay, don’t be intimidated by…
