Come Home Early….

Wear full clothes, avoid contact with men,

Oh girl, come home early before it’s ten!

Be a tot, a maiden or an elderly woman,

None is safe in this era so inhuman!

We, girls, do excel in all fields of work,

Our success is always a source of irk.

You’re a girl, it must be your fault only,

This statement amidst mishap, leaves the victim lonely.

You’re an embarrassment; we abandon a woman like you,

An alien treatment, much lack of respect due!

It’s unthinkable – what the sufferer must be going through,

Rather blaming, one should empathise and know her view!

Guilty are the monsters who commit the crime,

It’s worse- the ones who accomplice them and then act mime!

How can one even think so immoral?

Not only with candles, for justice we need to quarrel!

It is high time to punish the beasts so hard,

Who dare to think that harassing a woman is an award!

Public execution, mutilation, or be it a penalty to death,

Such fear imbibed that it captures the breath!

Just imagine a world so sound,

For pestering women, there is no single ground.

It begins with teaching our own brothers and sons,

Prioritising absolute female safety to all, it stuns!
