Dignity in the running
- Sridevi
She was a dignified woman
Her posture was right
Her eyes did not look at the food
Spread on the dining table.
A misfit in society
Did not know how to ask and look.
No desire in her eyes.
An expression of pride rare in this climate.
People laughed at her pride.
Ask and ask.
Beg and beg.
Stand at doors.
Let people know you are waiting .
Then, you need not work.
Crows live better than donkeys.
She didn’t bother.
She continued her work.
Cleaned the already clean things
Everyday with poise.
Worked with the mien of a lord.
The goddess of the next era.
