International Women's  Day

Arundhati Sarkhel

We are dancing, singing
Flying, managing
And moving
But still fighting for
Equal pay, respect and dignity
We come a long way
With puberty, period
Childbirth and Menopause
We saw and history
Taught us
So many women
From so many backgrounds
Rise with all kinds of obstacles
Now women are
Kicking football
And playing hockey
Directing movies
A door is open
Mother teaching daughter
Sky has no limit.
