Let it fall

Saturday,24th August 2019

 

Let the tears fall down

and make it known

that they are not from the weakness grown

and simply flown on the ground

 

it is a sacred flow

and allows

the women's plight

when something is not going right

 

how long can one bear the atrocity?

when it is considered as shame on humanity

everybody is aware of its continuity

yet we feel only regret and pity

 

I held it for a long time

and now it has broken all the doors of the dam

it is like gushing lava

with the commitment and firm agenda

 

It shall not on indefinitely

with the crime intended activity

we shall raise the banner

and show its result sooner

 

we are no lame duck

and allowed to be struck

with silence and tolerance

it will be met with stiff resistance
