(T.w. Mentions SA and the consequences thereof…!)
She let out a plea,
Within those walls rung her cries;
She begged to let her go,
Let her go and she won’t come out of her home ever again;
But,
Who was even listening to her;
They were drunk.
They didn’t know what they were doing;
The same happened to an older woman;
The same happened to a girl child..!
Where was the human within them who was bowed down in front of that idol just the day before;
A cold Tuesday evening they spent chanting the religious scriptures,
Infront of the idol—
From whom they wished help arrived to achieve their dreams within a short span…!
And the next day they shortened someone life to the extent that they don’t plan on living anymore…!
And when something like this happens,
It makes you think—
Is there a G0d,
And does he even try to save their wards…?
Or do you think,
He waits until she ages,
And,
If she hasn’t taken her life due the stresses and challenges that come after…!
He waits for the criminal to grow old too,
He waits and watches how they’re adorned with garlands and taken care like they won Olympic medals for our nation…!
Doesn’t he feel any sorrow for his creations…?
How they excercise their free will,
And when something like this happens—they’re fearless of any action that can be taken against them,
Or,
Should be taken against them…?
Maybe,
It’s each one for themselves and she had to defend herself,
By carrying something that she could use to her advantage…!
But,
What was wrong with arriving home late one evening…?
What is wrong with wearing formal clothes that comply with company policy and are comfortable…?
What is wrong with the fact that all of our thinking goes in the wrong direction…?
We question what was she wearing..!
Why was she out so late…!
Why was she travelling all alone so late…!
Why was she-
Everything questions her…!!!
We cannot even fathom to question how the perverted thoughts existed within that person-
The eyes and the mind of the person who commited these atrocious acts to her..!
And,
We are not even close to question how they are given a clean chit because they were drunk and they were not mindful of the fact that they ruined a life…!
एक उमर बीत जाती है अपनी बेटी को संभाल कर रखने में,
और ऐसे दरिंदे,
नशे की हालत,
नशे की लत में आकर,
कर जाते है ऐसा कुछ—
फिर क्या,
बची-कूची उमर बीत जाती है कोर्ट-कचैरी के चक्कर काटने में —
और बाद में खुल्ले घूमते मिलते है हमारे आस पास,
ऐसे दरिंदे—
हो जो अपने अगले शिकार की तलाश में…।
Who’d listen to this rant…?
Who’d read this to this piece of text to the very end…?!
Maybe all of this is something that I spoke to my G0d,
But,
By G0d,
It feels like—
He doesn’t care for his wards anymore…!
Does he…?
Waakiye 🤍
