Ring Of Bondage

The  diamond-studded  gold  ring

The  colourful  silver  toe  ring

Confirms  my  marital  life

One  mythical  ring encircling  me

Is  proof  of  my  strife

Drawn  by  legendary  Lakshman

Seemingly  a  safety  measure

Symbolic,  circular  line

Is  the  ring  that  keeps  womanhood

Like  all  Sitas  confined

The  Ring  signifies  sorrow

This  custom  I  don’t  follow
