A Woman's Day Everyday

A Woman's Day Everyday, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

every day is woman s day
the pain the agony the sufferings
that comes their way
the pitfalls the betrayal
the curse of living
a sky turning gray
giving birth to sorrow
you might say
darkness and gloom
missing suns rays
for a better tomorrow
for her children
she prays
one fine day
when they get married
they will drive her away
pushing a hand cart
carrying debris
to the mouth of the bay
its not just sacrificial goats
on feast days
its woman that man
to appease a man god
loves to slay
treated worse
than a street stray
a woman is much abused
misused they set ablaze
it the right amount of dowry
she forgets to pay
woman a stalked animal
in mans maze
a drop of a tear
on the soul of malaise


These are women whose job is to carry debris from buildings or flats that are being reconstructed on a hand cart towards an open space at Bandra Reclamation..
They work from morning to evening I caught this one part of a group resting taking a much needed break.
