I am not blaming YOU



I am not blaming YOU



Keshabi Joshi



No, not at all, trying to compare you



Where r u ?, And where am I?



You are welcome to be born



Society is in a hurry to welcome you



The days of social disintegration are numbered.



On the day you are named, society surrounds you!



What about me



Disgraceful from birth



Including the birth mother



She becomes shamefulness



Because of me



When another idol of one's own is born



Mother mourns



Society calms down,



Father doesn't have to borrow money,



Even on the day, I get the name, I am alone!



When you are born



You celebrate your birth



Mother also gets to eat sweets and blessings



By birth, you are claimed as,



Guardian of parents' property



You are called the protector of the clan.



And what about me



I'll be going to someone else's house



I will wear a garland of other’s caste.



No, I'm not trying to blame you



In this discrimination done by society



What's wrong with you?



But, you also have that



You will assistance about the



Sister’s and daughter’s right



But, you will set the boundaries for the wife and daughter-in-law.



You will decide



Her work



The way she walks



The friends she made



The words she speaks



The clothes she wears



And, if she really doesn't



You will say divorce



And, again, society will rejoice in the feast.



You will have another girl



You will be in fun, and, I will be in mourning!!



No, not at all, trying to leave your subordination



You are the protector of property, the protector of the clan



For clan defense



I put my life on the line



For the happiness of the family



I bet on life



But, to my own children



 I can’t prove that they are my child



Because I can't give them the surname



I don't have the cast name of my own



Before married, I used to father’s surname



After married yours!



I don't have a house of my own



Birth house is father’s



And, married home is yours!



No, not at all, trying to oppose you



If you didn't give a sperm



My field was barren



Without your help



My turf is incomplete



It is concerned about thinking  



You think you are caretaker of me



Your family has come to eat



And, given by my parents



You think you brought me



And, Society behaves as an intellectual dealing living thing.
