Nirbhaya..a hope for light!!

A night as normal as any day..
not expecting disaster in any way..
Enjoying a movie with a friend..
not knowing her laughter will cease to an end..

Flowing along with the way of life..
never knowing a pain awaits as a stab of a knife..
never knowing 6 forms of the devil lie in wait..
for the kill of a hunger they needed to add to her fate!

the movie ended..she took steps to hell..
the danger I just wished I could tell..
the bus to hell arrived ..
and up she with her friend climbed..

they pounced on her like an animal..
they were all far from being normal..
the maniacs they were ..to kick, torture and brutally rape..
and throwing her away naked ..like the seed of a grape!!

was it her fault?
to become a victim of this thunder and bolt?
well according to an MP it is..
 because she is just not anyone of his..

her vulnerability was used ..
they were thoroughly amused..
uneducated though literate,
cowards showing their prowess , their act so much to hate..

she made up her mind to fight..
holding onto life tight..
an example set not so light..
Raising the bar of self respect to a large height!

Little girls , so new to this world..
being attached and pounced upon, like the spears hurled..
How can you do this to them..
Don't you see a glimpse of your own daughter in that little gem?

wake up India..wake up..
shame is being filled to the brim of the cup..
where men have become animals..women a toy..
females have to suffer from abortion to rape by a boy..

I dream of an India, my land..
where women walk fearless, with people extending a safety hand..
where men and women live in true peace and harmony..
not like the fake evil smiles one finds in a ceremony..
