Once upon a time

There was a country which I assumed to be mine

But, now its racked up with filthy swines

I went through so much agony that I could barely feel my intestines

I wanted to just rise and shine

But, they dint even let my life be mine

They had no limit, they just crossed the line

A rod on the back and there cracked my spine

 

They behaved as if they were the kings

And me, not even a human being

My pure body now stinks

And people say that if elected, equality is what I shall bring

More than a hundred people and I was under their glare

None helped they just stared

My body was bleeding and bare

None even had a simple shall to share

Yes I felt unequal, I felt unwanted

I was astonished by the society in which I landed

Unsafe?  oh yes, they blame It on destiny

But,  justice? Where and when will that be?

They brought up all these monster

Who heinously rape

I ask why you stare

They tell me the reason is the clothes you wear

It is an appeal, it is a request

Please save your mothers, sisters, daughters and nieces

Or they would also turn up like me being in pieces

No offence but they do need leashes

Could we get a change?

is their anyone I could trust?

Can one get me justice?

And see that the world doesn’t turn into ashes ?
