The way they look at us
makes us feel naked
Wherever we wear
we are ogled and gaped

Rapists aren't the ones who just rape
I see a rapist in the
person who exists everywhere
who stands at a distance
and rapes you with his stare.

I hate how girls are
body shamed and mortified
Oh, Just let me tell you boy,
our body ain't meant to be objectified!

Looking at how females are brutalized
in my mind a zillion questions arise
I want the answer to all my 'whys'
Let's see if you surmise?

Why can't we leave
our homes at night?
Why do we never
feel safe outside?

What we wear is
wrong or right
for us why should
someone decide?!

Why are our moral rights denied?
In temples where goddesses are defied
why a girl on menses
isn't allowed inside?

Why is a mother
declared an infanticide
when she's FORCED
to kill her own girl child?

When will this society
ever understand
that men and women
all Equal we stand?

We can pay our bills,
we need no man
All these social crisis
we could withstand

When will rape finally end?
When will our society start to amend?
When will country's development
finally be said to ascend?

I don't know when
this 'when' would happen
this inturn results
into my abomination.
