Red: Not a danger, contrarily

By Binod Pokhrel

Mucosal tissue, Dysmenorrhea, Amenorrhea, anovulatory, and more.
Are we all acquainted with the terms?
'Nay!' These all sound like medical juggernauts.

Half of the population, faces the universality.
Alas! Do we have genuine wit of reality?

Based upon prehistoric notion,
Fettered us in a cage of emotion!
Pain of bleeding, cramps, anxiety and migraines,
Would surely leave a question mark.
'How to sustain?'

Facing the irony of untouchability
Added with flavour of impurity,
Leaves all sufferers in a fume.

Partner with testosterone mojo.
Hardly imbibe the covert agony.
Wish, he holds the gut to glean,
'How awesome to bleed in cycle,
Conferring its purity?'

It's not a backdrop she holds.
Reminding fellow creatures
She bleeds to offer an identity on this planet.
If not, the 'Red' won't let us know
What's called the 'Birth.'
