Nominal Woman Poem by Shamsul Husain

Nominal Woman

Rating: 5.0


Why should we be molested in the name of help?
Why should we be thought at the helpless ends?
Why is it so only with us in this immortal world?
Perhaps, we are the girl child and we are women

Someone praises the hair, the lips, and our beauty
For many others, we are lives and their true loves
We are in the names of mothers and sisters too
And we are sometimes placed only in brothels

Working with them we have so much stress here
Our hearts are broken and we are distressed here
But we struggle and rise to live a life and go ahead
We are phenomenal but now we are nominal here

But we struggle and rise to live a life and go ahead We are phenomenal but now we are nominal here.... //.... A very powerful write indeed. This is an honest portrayal of a section of women who are resigned to their wretched life. No hope, no future, no leisure and no pleasure. She is condemned to a life where she is no more than a commodity in the market. Thanks a lot.
