he too was one mighty man!

While sitting beside the all-knowing
A question floats through my mind
Was this earth bombarded?
Or did it fall out from a mother's womb?

I did see my mother first
Seconds after I opened my eyes
And I did get the kiss of love
From none other than my loving mother.

I did play hide and seek
Seconds after I stood on my legs
And I did get the gentle pat
From none other than my loving sister.

I did bag easy helps
Seconds after I got stuck between homeworks
And I did gain the well wishes
From none other than my loving girlfriend.

I did win the yearning desire
Seconds after looking into her eyes
And I did reap the passion of love
From none other than my loving wife.

I did get an extra leg
Seconds after she grew self sufficient
I did receive the needful care
From none other than my loving daughter.

I did get the summons from God
Seconds after my heart beat ceased
I did see the stream of tears
From none other than some unknown woman.

And it is then that I did ask the almighty
Why are women treated so bad?
And why are women being thrown to the back?
Alas!

..he too was one mighty man!
