I heard once, eyes are the windows
But those windows are stained
Etched with malice: bad gazes
…………………………………….
And I hate those bad gazes
That strip away the veils
Reason for deep scars on souls
…………………………………..
I hate those bad gazes
Follow me across the contour
In buses, colleges, bazaars and towns
…………………………………….
I hate those bad gazes
Know no decency, no restraint
Give unseen torture, deeply felt
…………………………………….
I am the veiled one, fully covered
Modest, with eyes cast on the ground
Try to seek refuge from bad gazes, I found
…………………………………….
But those bad gazes have no dignity
No respect for my sanctity
And no regard for my humanity
…………………………………….

OF MOTHERHOOD.
Dear mother-to-be, I wanted to let you know how very, very special I think you are. I don't think there can be any job that is more meaningful than the one you are about to begin, that of being a mom. You are the most important person in the world to your precious unborn baby, and you will be for many years.

Very potent - can feel the stares and glares and the disrespect.
