Hey!
There is this thing we have neglected.
That a boy is human.
Susceptible to lots of danger.
He always succumbs to a lot of peril.
Spare that boy.
From their sprouting age.
Subjected to trials.
I'm talking about their care givers.
The maidservants.
Spare that boy.
Boys are raped day after day.
No one talks about that.
You perceive it to be normal.
Poor boychild, where did the rain start beating you.
Spare that boy.
He is our pillar.
When the folks will be gone.
Spare that boy.
@Tha Formidable Cheru.
