Family Tree and Lost Buds
Shikha SaxenaApr 4 · 1 min read
Recently read my family tree!
Impelled to share.
My forefather came from Kingdom of Gwalior,
Then his son created havelis, temple and school,
Then his son extended his Kingdom,
Then one of his sons moved to Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, in search of living,
Then his son created bungalow,
His sons took over,
Their son resided and then,
Finally, sold the material outside family,
Where are the riches gone?
Where do daughters stand?
They do not have any standing?
Do they belong to same clan or
their existence is nonexistent?
How to find answers?
Those are gone who could answer.
These rituals and patriarchy will go on.
Leave it all!
Break all bonds leave chains behind.
You were sent alone
and you will fly alone.
Remains will remain here.
All material will stay in materialistic world.
Why question?
Sign as said.
You are Mere Signature!
It has more power than you!!
