Ma Bikrima Chhu | Priyanka Bhandari | Unspoken Poetry | Nepali Poetry | E25
Summary
The poem powerfully critiques the objectification and commodification of women in society. The speaker feels reduced to a “product” or merchandise—her body, identity, and value measured like goods, alcohol, or flesh for sale. It highlights deep frustration, pain, and resignation over lost autonomy, systemic inequality, and male dominance. Metaphors include birth charts, certificates, invisible pens, and investigative committees symbolizing how women’s worth is judged and controlled. The core message condemns the absence of true equality and calls attention to the emotional wounds caused by treating women as objects rather than individuals with dignity.
