#MeToo – a Totem, a Tome of our shame #SheToo Deserves Respect
#MeToo – a Totem, a Tome of our shame
We exit the womb’s watery warmth and survive thanks to her toughness
In the joy of childhood rivalry, she loses to see her sibling win
At school, she can make most squirm in her academic shadow
At high school/ college, her effervescence leaves one’s infatuation hopeless
At University, academic scores soar despite domestic chores !!!
At work, her Dependability and Ownership are the makings of a Leader
In courtship her tantalizing ungraspability leaves one besotted
In partnership/marriage, a die-hard Believer ….. if we ignore the hail and the lava 🙂
As co-parent, her selflessness could madden
As daughter/ Angel, her vulnerability melts steel
Why then the circumstances behind #MeToo
In ancient days the Great Lord Shiva accepted
She is literally His half. For better than worse.
Why then the circumstances behind #MeToo
Shall we just accept graciously, if she deems us unworthy (of attention)
Shall we just encourage, if we cannot Sponsor
Shall we just let her pass, if we cannot keep up
Shall we just admire in silence, if saluting is hard!!
Shall we just keep mum, if words are harsh
Shall we just let her BE!
#SheToo deserves respect and love. Not sympathy or lust.
