Why is the world such a heartless place?
Why people here are so emotionless?
Why rape cases are heard daily?
Why a woman's emotions are left unseen?
Why no actions are taken,
When a girl is raped,
When an animal is killed
for a human's greedy need,
When domestic violence is still happening?
Is it a sin if she stays out till late?
Is it her problem, if the society has got such evil eyes?
Is it not her freedom, her choice for her life?
Why women can't jog in shorts if men can?
Why women has to sacrifice if men don't?
Why are women taught to cover up, and men not to rape?
Why are not men afraid of being rapists?
Society needs to understand,
it's not the clothes, it's the fucking mindset.
It's not the women's fault, it's the men, the preaches.
It's not a single generation, it's happening since the past.
