Of Men and Women










Was it a person or book that said

"Women are from Venus and 

men from Mars" ? Never mind, as in spite of

differences, the sexes have managed to be together! 


Even as,  "familiarity breeds contempt" 

the genders have managed to hold on ...

embracing the quote " familiarity breeds concern"


Yet, modern living has made both

a lot more self absorbed, more demanding

seemingly declaring " I will give you love & respect

only after you give it to me first"

the universal law though, reminds us 

"If you want something, give it "  



I recited the poem at the Kavyakaumudi International multilingual poets group meeting on 29th October 2022 and also proposed a vote of thanks.
