A Death And A Transformation Poem by Valsa George

A Death And A Transformation

Rating: 4.7


For centuries I waited to be born
May be at the ripe time my seed was sown
But in a hostile soil, I smelt treason
It baffled my ken of simple reason

Yester night I died a martyr’s death
Tonight I got buried on the heath
Tomorrow, breaking all manacles that bind
I shall liberate myself from Death’s sinister grind,

Myself for safety, into the opposite sex bound
To live thereon, a princely life unbound

with reference to the poet's notes, this is a broad-canvas poem...rich for its depth and timeless span... here the abstractions of life and death exchange their meanings...a great diagnostic hand Valsa ji! ! !

a v nice poem...sad that these instances r on the rise, where females themselves dont understand females, n above all there r cruel men too around to molest the surviving females, instilling fear in the minds of common ppl....a gud write Valsa Mam!

Female foeticide has to subside in due course of time... We are for now, as you say, more concerned about a society that does not care for the survivors... A grim picture indeed. Let there be a change of miraculous order soon or later
