The Bag Lady reveals brilliance from her bag…

***

You are the bright one

The star that shines

Your parents’ chosen

When everything is done

Others blend, always trying

You’re the one always defying

The dark surround

The quiet mind

You’ll never be

The silent find.

Reena is the host of Reena’s Xploration Challenge

Welcome back!

➰➰➰

No matter how hard I try, I’ll always be the odd one out

The society judges me by its skewed standards and I don’t fit


Conformation is not my aim nor my desire in life


Being like everyone else never held any appeal for me


I like being different, I like my individuality


If I am a square peg in a round hole, I am rather proud of it


They call me a misfit, and aim to hurt or provoke me


They don’t know that I crave this title, am absolutely good with it

Not So Green

Not so green …..by VJ Knutson

VJ's avatarOne Woman's Quest

Corporations claim to be green
bent as they are on profitability

Contrived, the marketing schemes
colour added to mask the perils

No amount of dye can alter
the truth for our world faces

the midnight hour, time
for preservation waning.

Reena’s Xploration Challenge # 195

Reflection of objects — by Jane Aguiar

Prompt # 195 Image Prompt

Three words:

Backscatter

Angle

Sickle

Reflection of objects…..

Light from a flashgun,
Shows deflection of radiation,
So much reversed in direction,
That backscatter duplicate image or reflection!!

Underexposed picture incident,
Cloud diffuses sunlight
Giving soft light
With a blizzard effect!!

Reflection bounces back the incident particle,
Scatters and forms an angle,
Image looks like a sickle,
Effects are determined by a simple analytical model!!

What if …. you are dependent?

Empowered Women's avatarEmpowered Women

It’s easy to be a feminist when one is financially independent, and in a social environment conducive to living alone?

What happens in the societies where unmarried girls stay with parents, or a dependent wife stays in her marital home AND faces mental abuse. They continue to stay there because the world outside may be crueller than that. The abusers provide a roof on the head, and an iota of deemed social respectability.

How long does it take to start earning and move out of the house?

Is it always advisable for a single girl to get married, only to escape her abusive parents?

Is it easy for a married woman to file for divorce with no support outside, and financial interests entangled with the abusive husband or in-laws?

The abuse that children grow up watching makes them think it’s normal, and the patterns spill over into their personal lives.
