[bodytext] => WOMAN REBORN Dr. Mahendra Bhatnagar You aren't a purse-purchased commodity of man, Nor are you the soulless slave girl, The brainless hand-maid and the lifeless doll. No longer are you the age-old Down-trodden footwear of man, Not a source of pleasure and pastime any more Frailty is not thy name, A bed of roses you desire not. Nor are you caught in the whirl-pool any more But banks distant you adorn now, No longer shall injustice crush you, New power and zeal of the time is with you; Your hands are now free from chains; Prison social or personal confines you not, Nor does man dominate your mind and body That you submit to his whims And utter not a complaint even by chance On behalf of the youths millions of the world I speak, not as your lord, but as a friend; I simply wish to bind you With bonds silken of eternal love!
