Its not a complaint
Nor is it a movement
Don’t call me a rebel
Or for that matter an activist
But as I read through
Cant help but wonder
Why would it be so?
Though we both are perfect partners
And equals in all that we care
Love trust passion define
The wonderful life that we share
I guess its been like this
I guess its been like this
Since eons together
This inequality that exists
That may seem as light as a feather
Inspite of this I can't help but question
While I am defined by your existence
why is there not even a single trace
why is there not even a single trace
Of me in your appellation?
Systems set by the society
Formalities developed through civilization
Don’t think it important to include
A wife’s label in her own husband’s designation!

Hey pooja, a very thoughtful poem.. I too feel the same way :-) I also think that any child's name should also carry his/her mother's name. That's why I feel proud of my parents, who, in 80's named me Amruta Nandini Prakash :-) I want to continue this even for my children...let's see
