Is it that time of the month?
A question we often hear
From the people
Surrounding us.
As if period is a sinful thing
To talk about.
What makes you think
The blood pouring
Out of the vagina
Is impure?
Oh aren't you having
The same blood running
beneath your skin too?
And didn't you came out
Of the same bleeding thing?
Oh I guess you're impure too
Not because of the blood
But because of your
Filth filled mind
That has made you blind.
You make a women
Sit back at home
Because her vagina is bleeding
And you think it's impure.
You restrict her
From entering temples
Because you think
It would pollute
The temples.
How could the place which
Makes the soul pure
Be made impure?
I don't understand.
People celebrate the
Birth of a child
But treat period
As a dirty time.
How could you call
It impure?
When it is the reason
Of your existence
On this earth.
