Women’s Issue Feature Poem By Dr. Paramita Mukherjee Mullick

FULCRUM

Crash,bang, the see-saw falls on the ground.
The fulcrum could no longer keep it in place.

Women are the fulcrum of the family.
Keeping the balance intact.
All hurt, all pain of the children, the mother soaks in.
All worries, all anxieties of the husband, the wife smoothens.
Sickness of the parents, the daughter takes care.
The in-laws depend on their daughter-in-law.

Women are the fulcrum of the society.
The societal wrongs, women makes right.
In harshness, the kind touch.
In pain, the balm.
In injury, the healing.
In sadness, the sunshine.

So with mental strength and kindness of heart,
The fulcrum keeps the balance of the greatest society,the world.
