Social Poetry: Sometimes I am welcomed with open heart, Sometimes I become the soul of my family, Sometimes I am so not welcome that they make my soul depart, Sometimes I become the pain for society! They are born as blessings to a family, No one hurts them, the way they hurt me, They care for him in ways to a better human And yet he doesn’t respect me He kills me, he forces his will on me He finds ways to torture me Torment me for my entire life, So much that I start praying to god To not have me a girl in my next life To not have any poor soul get in a body of a girl. For she is not a human, she is a girl with a body for him to relish With lust, and with force..coz he has the right to live and I don’t. She – The Silent Voices: While I was writing this poetry, I had two people in my mind: I) Women a rapist disrespects a) By dishonoring/abusing the girl/woman physically ; b) Dishonoring the woman who gave birth to him; by committing such an act. II) Rapist As a woman, a girl sees a lot of pain and suffering.. not that all girls face these issues, but I am writing considering the way girls have been treated so far in many communities and places..first stanza of my poetry speaks about the unborn girls who are killed while still in their mothers’ wombs, and then there are those who are boycotted by society, not given equality or freedom..but there are also those who are welcomed with open hearts and smiles.. the lucky ones to be in the right place at the right time I guess. Of yes, I feel great to be the one to give birth to him I feel wonderful to be his mom I feel proud to have brought him into this beautiful world Only to learn the sad reality, That he is here only to prove he is better, he is stronger In ways that makes him a coward Who hides his true face in light And feels he has the right to disrespect me, Everytime he plays with the respect of a girl. He is no one but just a rapist! He has to be stopped with severity. For the day is not far when she revolts with gods, And doesn’t come to earth for adding beauty and life. Trust me that’s the day this beautiful world will sink And be flooded in her tears of suffering!
