Analysis of Preventing ‘His’tory of ‘Her’itage



Preventing ‘His’tory of ‘Her’itage

One day, I was reading an article
On ‘Preservation of History of Heritigae’
Which concluded with a word play that
If history is written around ‘him’ or ‘men’
Does heritage centre around ‘her’ or ‘women’?

And I thought as to ‘why we complicate a simple matter?’
For life is simple but we insist making it complicated
Like a couple in a bad Indian marriage
Where two opposite sexed individuals
Like ‘Yin & Yang’, ‘Earth & Sky’ or ‘Water & Fire’;
In general like opposites forcibly bound togrther!

But the opposites attract too,
Which results in copulation,
Coupulation in impregnation,
Impregnation in reproduction,
And reproduction too carry forward & carry on
The life’s ‘his’story and ‘her’itage!
