Akalya’s Feminism
Life blooms
Anytime, anywhere
Is Akalya’s pride.
The sinner, the sin and the sinned;
All dissolve in divinity.
The penance is rewarded.
Transforming betrayal to truth.
Gautama curses,
But the seed of love to humanity
Sprouts with no remorse.
The dust of Rama’s feet-
Implants faith and honour women.
The new energy is born.
Feminism shines
Holding hands
With Rama and Gautama.
