Introduction:
She was a
Blooming flower envious as day
Primitive world could not lock her away.

She was
One of a kind
A tender heart and a beautiful mind.

She was
was a mathematician
and a philosopher
in an age where women were tied
and made to silently suffer.
---------------------------------------------------------­------------
whatever I describe
must seem less
as data lie insufficient
and can not be regressed

The jewel shone brightly
reflecting light of planet and stars
and the light attracting
students from places far.

In kingdom of Alexandria
Where knowledge was power
she strode through the ladder
reaching pinnacle of the tower

All her students admired her
every one equal in her class
Like the first notions of Euclid
all equal to her and hence
equal to each other.


Never covered herself
in a cowl or cape
boldly she strode her world
even inventing Astrolabe

But alas! By religious fanatics
She was proclaimed a witch
Political victim to the
treacherous vines of jealousy

Kidnapped from her carriage
She was dragged into the
the holy caesareum
clothes ripped off by
the mob and ******
later her limbs were cut
and the body tied to a stake
only to be engulfed by the flames
and the mob around jumped
triumphantly in joy
proclaiming victory to god.

In present time too
she lays forgotten
as world desperately
tries to shed off
its masculine rag worn
for ages now torn
as some still try to stitch
it again.

And as I write with
tears in my eyes
her last words ring through
as she silently whispers
I forgive all of you.
