OPEN LETTER TO FREUD

In man's body an extra limb Invested with eternal power, earth's ownership According to Mr Freud for lack of it woman is inferior As an underling she envies man's virility Nature is uncaring Man is uncaring Children are uncaring Only Freud cares for women! Who cares for compassion! Chitrangada? Joan of Arc? Simone de Beauvoir or dark Draupadi! "Penis-envy" is a term Introduced by Mr. Freud That extra which only man possesses That's what diminishes woman So she is uncertain in childhood Decorates the Shivalinga with flowers at girlhood Her playroom is full of dolls and utensils For it's said that she is her mother's replica. Whereas Rohit rehearses for war American soldiers in fatigues in his room Machineguns fusillade tra-ra-ra As man's aggressiveness grows in him If he claws cheeks with sharp nails Man-child's extra prowess makes grandmothers beam That extra bit in his body, that's the licence Which will make him the world's owner. Rohit will be the owner of which world? Where Rohita is his partner! Inferior sex! On galloping horseback with drawn sword Emperor Rohit will set out to conquer the world And he will be decked for war by mother, sister, wife This is just what you wanted, Mr Freud! If a woman warrior arrives from the opposite side Will he abandon arms like Bhishma - "I will not take up arms against women" Implying woman won't be allowed to acquire arms - This is primal man's sexual politics Freud, because you belong to the extra-limb group You assume women are inferior and hence envious! During my childhood I felt no penis-envy My identity was complete Even today I'm a confident, complete woman, A sensitive dark girl of the Third World Shall stand against you from today Who is inferior, who superior, which is more or less - Who has given you the duty of solving Such a political debate Mr Freud!!
