Red Red Redless
Dr A. Anita Devi *
Red Red Beauty of her, enchants all of THEM;
Red Red Redness of HER lips,
lights burning desires in THEM;
Red Red Rushing of hot blood,
pumps fiery love in THEIR hearts;
Red Red Droplets of virginal blood,
triggers waves of pride for THEM;
Yet Red Red-shot eyes, pour hatred in its absence;
Yet Red Bridal-wear, evaporates in its absence's anger;
Yet Red Menstrual-Blood's sanctity,
crashes hard in its absence;
Yet Red Life-line of fetus,
turns slow poison in its absence's anger.
When THEIR fatal tentacles of HYPOCRACY spread –
Red is no more Redness of Passion,
Red is no longer Rush of Love,
Red is no more Bond of Marriage,
Red is no longer Seed of Motherhood.
Microscopic dissection of Jealousy killed HER;
Magazine Covers of Lust objectified HER;
Then Redness of Red lacks HER Trust,
And Redness of Red mocks HER Innocence,
And Redness of Red fails her Love,
And Redness of HER eyes justifies Red's teary extinction;
Red Red Redless Congratulation to THEM for The RED FEMICIDE.
