All stories draw inspiration from stories written in the past
The universal themes of human nature forever last
Many modern stories are derived from old classical tales
Some stories are such that their charm never fails
Many new stories are being retold
From a different perspective, but on the same scaffold..
*
There are so many classical stories that need
Retelling from a different viewpoint indeed..
Most of the fairy tales, fables, folktales we have read
Have been narrated from a male-dominated viewpoint, instead
We need to give the women in those stories well-known
A distinctive voice, a voice of their own
Reimagine the stories in such a way
That women are not just bystanders, but have a real say
In determining the storyline, let these stories end differently
Let finding a prince the stereotypical ending not be..
And why should only the journey of the hero be highlighted
The journey of the female protagonist would leave me more excited
In retelling these stories let women find their place
In a patriarchal world, let their ambitions surface..
Passion...unbridled
