Why only women fear rape, and men just rage.

Open history, you will find them in a ideological cage.

Turn, but same thing , different page.

It’s high time, stop this outrage.

A girl, 16, I knew, child labour.

Creepy men asking her favours.

Married at young age , thrown into cage.

Her eyes screams, her unfulfilled dreams.

Her mind shatters, but her hope still flatters.

Open the door of your mind, her soul clatters.

Another woman, a domestic violence victim.

Her loyalty, trust, love and life, she did gift him.

Boy child is the thing, she can’t gift him.

So the husband killed the angel, and made her a victim.

Third, aged around 24, raped.

Her victimizers escaped.

But she was strong, fought against all wrong.

Nerves of steel, I wish you can feel.

But our system, made her his victim.

Six years gone, still no justice.

She jumped from a roof, died aloof.

Her offenders, the three, still run free.

Empower the women and you empower the society,

It makes you serve the greatest almighty.
