Lesbianism: Not a Present Phenomenon

Lesbianism is not a recent fact

Oh! My dear it is an old tact

The year 1978 when a boy of class seven

Kanai Das called at his residence

It was summer midday

He made him experienced of gay

Again in 1987 when in college

Went to Nabadwip in a marriage

Ketaki, her sister and cousin Minati

The groom what did with you on ‘kalratri’?

You told me if it was a girl of seven

She would have to go to heaven.

Again in Delhi in 1992, December

The gali no. 192 of Lajwanti garden

Elder son of uncleji worked in Army

When he came on holidays at home

Called him out lovingly once

To sleep at night at his room

And he molested you

The culprit took the advantage of your simplicity

After 30 years it came to light.
