A strong woman need not be self made and we would have many by our side, active as well passive who make us really strong. But it's our self obligation to remain strong for there are atleast a few who want to walk in ease, in the wilderness of our weakness.

Long, Thick Black Hairs 

Once she had very long hairs.

And every person admired her-

For the long, thick black hairs!

And I presumed her, as strong as them.

Epocs made her ripe enough.

To be hitched hereafter!

Well, good contracts forged in-

In promise to keep her well.

Over the years, ears longed to hear-

And all seemed out for the count.

Then another, crow cawing dawn-

The news, did wide awake us.

He was tied beneath her chin.

And hung down in cloud nine!

In the curve of her bosom.

With her long, thick black hairs!
