There goes the concern
fake again, as it were
amanat…
there goes the judgement
ghar ki daulat
a refresher on how to kill
the disobedient
in public
what should they wear
when will they come home
there is fear
scattered everywhere
India is not Rome.

But who violated a three-month old
someone stronger and bold?
who, a nonagenarian nani
someone a tad childish and funny?

Boys will be boys
girls are at fault
soft tender toys
raped, severed, a lusty lesson taught
they are our treasure
should be kept in a vault
else boys will have pleasure
for their beauty, they’re under pressure.
Girls are like Kohinoor,
precious and cherished
at home, should be confined, like jahan ki noor
nurtured and nourished.

Rapes, honor killings, molestations!
Girls are the reasons
they are to be blamed.
and the western influence!
So beautiful, they travel unprotected, uncovered
it's natural for our boys
to violate them,
to have their limbs severed.

2017 is coming to an end,
so what, even thousand years later
with plastic concern and care
power, pelf and pride
men will still discuss
some women in their side
girls shouldn’t offend
they should not fuss,
roam here and there
list of things they should do
what they should not wear.

The sky observes
brooks flow
sun shines
moon smiles
earth shelters
all of them witness
how girls in gloom glow
how they are in a mess.

They all laugh and sing
in chorus, O how horrible it is
girls are treated as jewels
and not as human beings!
