"Respect", thy name is woman

A warm salute to you, all women on the earth,
For you is the mother of the humankind,
Bearing  for nine painful months,
In your womb the seed of human race,
And ultimately delivering the delight,
And smile to the society in a crying face.

You are behind the power of powerful men,
An inspiration behind each successful man,
The soul of every poem, poets sing from ages,
And pradipta should say you are a poem yourself.
You bear a heart of depth unfathomable,
With  immense love and compassion in it,
Indiscriminately and selflessly for one and all,

You are tolerant and prudent in each situation,
An image of loyalty, reliability and responsibility
In all your roles as mother, wife and sister,
Or as ever smiling and vibrant daughter,
Besides being a statue of love, care,compassion
You can be bold, stubborn and gallant,
 As and when a situation demands.

Those who insult or disrespect you,
Invite misfortune and turbulence for themselves 
Men doing injustice, domestic violence,
Against you, in fact chop their own feet,
Refuse their own fortune, spoil their own peace.

Crime against you, eve teasing, molestation,
Shows beastly and insane attitude of men,
Would never be negotiable and forgivable,
For any civilized and cultured society,

We owe you, your presence and your worth,
A warm salute again to all women on earth
