Kasalo

The poem "Kasalo" uses repetition and symbolic language to describe a relationship where the man leaves the woman anytime he wants, is not content, and disregards her. He deceives her to satisfy his own needs, seeing her only as a sex object useful for passing time. The woman is treated as someone who exists merely to please the opposite sex based on her physical appearance alone.
