She is dead
The little girl
The cheerful neighbour
Her smile haunts the street
Every mind shivers
What a cruel death?
A beautiful rose she was
Crushed and torn
To be,
Planted on earths bosom
Just three years, she lived
Tiny eyes just bloomed
So many roses have lost life
To a cruel demon rape and sexual abuse
Even the word scares a girl
Not ending here
It may go further
Posting photoshopped or obscene pictures
Threatening and blackmailing her
She is scared of men
Save the girl child, you say
A girl needs education, you say
Let she be independent, you say
A job, her own vehicle, lot more freedom.
A working independent modern woman, you awe
And then the same tongue twists...
Dress modestly, you say
Dont go out at night, you say
She wasnt morally good, you say
Learn martial arts, you say
Be careful, you say
So many said, so many heard
Why not say,
Dont hurt another person
Dont attack her weakness
Dont misuse another person for your selfish desire
Oh men and women,
Why not be her protective shield?
Whats it you get in crushing a rose
In breaking her trust on you
In attacking her in a cowardly manner.
To the brave women who have overcome all hurdles
And still stands tall giving a blow on societys face.
To the women who couldnt stand the struggle
And has laid their life leaving us guilty
And to the women who are walking on
Fearing what will come next
I salute you all and wish you the best.
May God be with you.
