Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow
Mandakini *
The world is full of surprises thru few on profound sorrow,
Look outdoor with an optimism for a better tomorrow!
We are people of choices and desire,
We need every right to aspire!
We need women to voice out the change that we want to see;
First step through Children, they equally need to understand the plea!
Yes! I am a woman and I can wear Dangri!
So, as I am a man and can choose to wear sarees,
This is all we have been debating throughout & most disagree!
Why not choose a sustainable fashion,
To be called an iconic passion!
Consuming a balanced ecosystem compassion,
A unique way towards environment as an action!
An ovation for women out there for captivating both work & households' chore,
An Ovation too for all men equally applauding all!
Let's appreciate together "The Heroes" to support women for working on climate change
Let's appreciate "The Sheroes" too who were never left behind and being caged!
Let's equally take an advantage of this world as a stage,
Towards a better Ecosystem that we have to pledge!
