You are an amazing writer And one hell of a character I love the way you think In your armour, are there no chinks Precisely do you know how to attract readers In your world, there ain't no order! Thou art the mistress of chaos To your writings, if people are averse Then it is their loss Because you are an absolute diamond And for you, never does learning end!!
You are an amazing writer And a stellar storyteller You always call a ***** a ***** By rules, you do not abide When you are angry We all are angry Because we cannot stand injustice And you yourself are Lady Justice!!
You are an amazing writer Sure, you do have your share of haters But that only serves to underscore the sheer impact you produce Truly, art thou a natural force!! Smashing the Brahminical patriarchy looks not impossible Only because your spirit is unbreakable!!
You are an amazing writer And an even better reciter Your poetry is simply revolutionary And though your critics are often reactionary You simply let your keyboard do the talking Thus reducing them to effectively nothing!!
You are an amazing writer And we are your debtors Because, you are one of those fearless critics Whom the government always tries to silence But you brave storm after storm In order to try and ensure justice for the downtrodden You are the oasis that represents hope In a desert full of despair
You are an amazing writer Who doesn't give two hoots about her detractors You are the true face of intersectional feminism In a land full of Savarna feminism Which is as fake as Israeli democracy Thanks to you, gender equality is not a mere fantasy!! Most important of all, though Is your anti-caste activism In the never-ending battle against casteism You are one of the fiercest warriors May you eventually succeed in breaking all the barriers Which stand between you and annihilation of caste!! Jai Bhim!! Vaazhga Periyar!!
Poem dedicated to one of my idols - author, poet, intersectional feminist, anti-caste activist and academic Meena Kandasamy.
