Evil

This is written in Quran,

That is written in Geeta,

In the name of God,

They have interpreted it well,

Follow, or hell awaits

Long beards, white robes,

Bald heads, saffron robes,

Trying, Manipulating,

To control lengths of skirts

To dictate what girls wear

Love! Before marriage!

Intercaste! How dare she?

Ruined our family name!

Kill both, Save our honour

What all these youngsters make us do!

Women are different,

Vulnerable, Weaker,

Control them, Hide them

Marry them off,

They need to be saved

A voice arises,

“The one capable of giving birth

Can she be really weak?”

They crush it though

You youngsters and your questions!

She was raped! What was she wearing?

Spaghetti top! Revealing Dress!

Bitch! She was asking for it…

“Would it matter if she wore a sari, burkha?”

You youngsters and your questions!

An unmarried couple on a bike,

Evil, Evil, This is the age of evil…

“Is there a greater evil

Than one that seeks power over free mind?”

You youngsters and your questions!
