I am Janaki whose name, 
can be heard and sung, 
in Ramayana as the better half.
I am the baby, 
who was digged out, 
and enthroned in Mithila.
I am the bride, 
for whom Lord Rama, 
bowed his arrow.
I am the mother, 
of little crouncha birds, 
who questioned their father.
I am the woman, 
who accompanied the half, 
and detained by the half, 
in the same wild forest.
I am the woman, 
who ensnared agni, 
to prove the chastity.
I am the woman, 
who embraced mother Earth
with tears for dignity.
