பிடித்தது - Something that I liked.

கேட்டதில் பிடித்தது


பூனையில் சைவம் கிடையாது
ஆண்களில் ராமன் கிடையாது


புரட்சிகள் ஏதும் இல்லம்மல்
பெண்ணுக்கு நன்மைகள் விளையாது
கண்ணகி சிலை தான் இங்குண்டு
சீதைக்கு தனியாய் சிலை எது?

சுதந்திரம் மட்டும் இல்லாமல்
சுவர்க்கமே இருந்தும் என்ன பயன்?


----

Rough Translation

Vegetarian cats do not exist (like that)
There is no Lord Ram* amongst men.
Without revolution,
There is no Womens liberation
Kannagi** has a statue of her own
Sita*** does not have a statue of her own

Whats the use of being in heaven,
Without any freedom?

* Lord Ram - was an Ideal symbol of Monogamy - in his time, it was common for the Kings to have many wives. More on Lord Ram here on Wikipedia.
** Kannagi - a Legendary Tamil Woman who symbolizes "Hell hath no fury" - She destroyed an entire city in order to avenge unjust execution of her husband by the Pandiya king. More here on Wikipedia.
*** Sita - Wife of Lord Rama, despite being treated badly by her Husband, she chose not to stand up for her rights. More here on Wikipedia.
