An Awakening Call

This poem is dedicated to A young lady, 23 years old raped by gang in Delhi in India and died on the 13th day of her victimization. She sacrificed her life for change. over the centuries degrading and humiliation is women's fate. methodology of mentality brutalized to hide evidence at any rate. time was running same, sun rises in the west and sets in the east, torturing mankind, killing innocents, and raping poor as serving beast. what was a day? A rising sun fired anger, clouds thrown thorns, air pinched nails in hearts, why is pain victimized me; ghosts are playing blindness and deafness of darts? what rules; prominent justified a stylish woman inspired sex,to rape her wildly, To open a show publicly, not to touch her;seeking justification of duties cowardly. who can live in history? but people still live as a woman statue is as a symbol of worship as God. spirituality sounds inhuman methods to destroy intestine to rape with an iron rod. no dog has bark or a beetle twinkled when a bleeded statue of God has thrown, but a stone heart bouncing box pushed her on bed of a white crown. who will mind her? air stops to blow, death flooded strength and butterflies cried against shadows to glow, but green-hoppers pulled up the barriers to secure white collar cows they run slow. everyone listened roar of a lion; complains who disturbed his sleep, moon is still there, stars disappeared why roaming in a field a sheep. what do i need to do? Birds are treeting in the jungle; fire is silent to burn a petal, if wolves attacked on a lamb then why do they whisper against a beetle? no need to change a statue of traditions that are serving justice from roots, Discipline is not obeying an order no need to grow new shoots. what is possible to do? let them to cry for few days the tiredness will hide them under stones, no need to change system for justice that will survive for Indian cripple bones. lord Rama examined her wife and asked to justify her purity on a burning pile, a woman has provocational nature we condemn her living a naked style. what do we need to learn? prevail a woman has cultural values; a man is worshiping God not for tradition's crash, women is as shoe for a man; her wisdom is in ankles religion lightening golden flash. but a victimized girl cried,' don't waste my sacrifice' save innocents to change a cruel dash. never forgive them, punished them they are criminal and running a system for harsh.
