Domestic Violence.
Physical & Mental Harassment.
Biased Moralities. Prejudiced Priorities. Unwanted Principles.
The following poem is an attempt to express the feelings of a woman in pain by just being a part of our society.
SIN OF BEING PURE
No mirrors tell my story
None paint the pain I drown and die in
Time doesn’t stop, it doesn't heal
Introductions rot with a din
I search for heartbeats
In battered pieces of flesh, they had soul
Bleeding tears of carrying your disgrace upon me
A lost one with a silent yowl
Loathe me with all you’ve got
Profane grumblings, unprejudiced & unsure
Slayed dreams took all that was me
My only sin was of being pure

COURAGE
Why has the world become so ruthless
Have humans lost all humanity and morals?
Why can’t I be safe here, O mother Earth
Do daughters have no right to be
I am afraid to live now
I am afraid to love
I am afraid to trust,
and live independently
My soul cries, for each of us who was
ripped and raped and then blamed
Who was cursed for being brave
Crushed and made a slave
Who was punished for being beautiful
Shamed for being dutiful
Who was acid-attacked for denying
and raped when she was flying
By the hands of those monsters
who could not control their egos
and their hormones
What was our fault we appeal
upon whom the inhuman act was done
My soul reasons today
Does goodness at all exist?
Because in this era of ‘Kalyug’
Evil triumphs over truth
Inhumanity rules over the brainless humans
Don’t we have the right to live
Free of the fear of being ripped and raped
Free of the fear of being loved then cheated
Free of the fear of being attacked and shot, just because we denied
Free of the fear of being cursed and shamed, for being ‘the ME’ I am
How is it Sita and Draupadi’s fault?
It was Ravana who kidnapped her
and people who blamed her
It was the Kauravs who humiliated her
and Pandavs who stood silent
My soul shrinks when I realise
I’ve taken birth in a world
Where women are maltreated, cursed and blamed
Where men are free of all crimes they do
And people live in terror, and finally are buried in graves
