Poem
Once there was a youthful, bubbly butterfly. Who loved to fly under the sunlit azure sky. Colors of joy reflected from her iridescent wings as she fluttered in the breeze to dance and sing. Through the lush meadow full of fragrant flowers, looking for the sweet nectar she gyrated all over. Cherished by all, her company, her presence. An epitome of beauty, elegance was her essence. Such was her charm that nobody could ignore. Slowly vile gazes followed her to ruin her demure. Many tried to force on her their lewd advances but she somehow managed to escape by chances. Soon enough she learned about the preying mantis, the ones that cruelly victimizes others with tactics Never did she think her charm could be a trouble by turning her joyous life into a daily struggle. Disturbed by her vulnerable being she sat on a rose to drown her worries with a drink of nectar dose. Unaware of the decoy she sipped the whole drink. A potion mixed in it made her conscious shrink. Out came an evil mantis hiding behind the leaves, who wouldn't take her no, took her to the sheaves. She woke up with horror to figure what happened. By now her body was bruised and her wings broken. Her agony was mourned by nature as she cried leaves full of dewy tears as if a part of her died. She wished death; to be devoured by that mantis. Bearing such pain is not easy without practice. Time passed by as she learned to survive the odds and transformed anew from her old arthropod. She is no more a shy butterfly but a fearless eagle with no broken wings neither with a body so feeble. Her unfortunate fall made her stronger than before and now again into the sunlit azure sky, she soars. Such deadly huntress she is with her watchful eyes that every preying mantis now fears her despise. Date : 01/04/2017 Note : For the contest ( Form C ) by Broken Wings - *Placed First* Yes women are butterflies in terms of their feminine frailty, beauty and elegance. But if you mess with them, they could be as fierce as an eagle to fight back the crimes of abuse, assault and racy comments against them. Sexual violence against women needs to be stopped and dealt with and we men should fully support women in this fight for justice.
