SHE’S NOT THE ONLY ONE (WITH APOLOGIES TO JOHN LENNON)
Imagine a world of equals
It’s easy if you try
No burkhas, no double standards
Feel free to dream and fly
Imagine all the men, respecting their women
Imagine there’s no shame
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to stop a 55 year old widow
From enjoying secret pulp heroine ,Rosie, too
Imagine all the Rosies living their fantasies….you..
You may say, Rosie is a dreamer
But she’s not the only one
She is the teen burkha clad girl who is denied jeans
Lipstick and Miley Cyrus are her ideas of freedom
Imagine no restrictions
Men feel impotent if you can
No fear of forced marital rapes without condoms
By husbands who wham bam and also f##k another ma’m
Imagine all the Rosies
Free to wear
swimsuits and dive into sexual fantasies…you
You may say ‘Lipstick Under A Burkha’ is the work of a half-dreamer
She is not the only one
I hope there are women who dare to dream more
Who can say along with men, we are one…
Imagine a film so real
The scenes not so abrupt
Where men are less stereotype
And women can spout and erupt
Purdah be damned n lipstick not wiped
You may enjoy mild Hindi porn as a delightful voiceover
“Lipstick Waale Sapne”, something..”waale sapne”
Rock as guilty pleasure book titles
With voices choked by orthodox mere apne
The film could be a Manto like winner…
