It is appropriate thought she <br />sobbing, stiffling her groans of pain <br />trying to be herself <br /> <br />It is appropriate <br />that she lost her virginity <br />on the virgin shores of this land <br />a virging goddess is here worshipped <br /> <br />It is appropriate <br />that life turned a violent leaf <br />crushing her innocence <br />strangling her pride in self <br /> <br />It is appropriate <br />that her freedom of a brave journo <br />has thus been trampled upon <br />her psyche has been scarred <br /> <br />It is appropriate <br />that this should happen <br />here in a land of blind believers <br />of frenzied religions <br /> <br />It is most appropriate <br />that the cruel waves <br />a mute witness- now rush to wash her <br />cleanse her innards(of <br />accumulateds dirt of aeons) <br /> <br />It is but appropriate <br />that she gathers her remnant sprightliness <br />uncrease her soiled dress <br />pull up her broken resolve <br /> <br />dust off the dirt <br />straighten her shoulders and walk on.. <br />the vast endless seas bid good bye <br />kissing her feet in penance <br /> <br />she walks off..<br /><br />sreelekha premjit<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/resurgence-at-kanyakumari/
