SHAM AND SHAMELESS

The society has and heals its own scars,
then why is it that they are  only ‘hers’?
Why is it then that men don't have any -
whereas they outnumber ‘hers’ by many?

It is an irony as such, the ways of ‘men’ -
savages get their way every now and then.
Tormenting the flesh, bones and the soul -
tragic as to how it has never taken its toll.

Born of women and then put to shame -
from times of old it has remained the same.
You burn candles, lit torches and bonfire -
shameful how it's lost - the ‘essence of ire’.

Placards! Protests! What is it that you need?
No cries of conscience but injustice indeed.
Pillaging of cities and ravaging of innocence -
Who stands up now to mend the broken fence?

The hell on earth was made by those men -
born here of filth and scum, time and again.
This echoes injustice! It's but a political sham -
I know not of others but yes, ashamed I am.

Tear the rotting flesh, let their bones be creaked,
how a motherly soul in night helplessly shrieked.
