This
is the 21st century
Flying
automobiles may not be far away
Yet
justice remains a distant dream
For young
women in the Pollachi
Who got
sucked into the blackhole
Where
technology trapped their innocent minds
And cameras
coveted their flesh
By predatory
influential men
Who blackmailed
them to no end
And silenced
their horrors
with
the concept of shame.
Yet!
It
is the girls who are blamed
For chatting
with these imposters online
And befalling
shame upon their families
For
risking their virginity and honor.
Because
A
woman is just a sum of her body parts
And
A badge
of honor
And
A Flawless
flagship
All at
the same time.
The
boys?
They
will remain boys ofcourse
Reprimanded
for their glaring errors
And
Cajoled
for their lighter ones
They
will grow out of it yaar.
The
trauma?
Will
be forgotten
Swept
under the bloody carpet
And the
closet of skeletons
Put
on a brave face
Act
like nothing happened
Better
yet
If
they just die
And put
their family out of their miseries
Because
broken women
are
a blot on this society
and
we would much rather gossip
on
how a woman must have tortured
that
her husband had to stab her in the family court*
rather than
have
a real conversation about Pollachi.
This
is the 21st century
And ‘women
empowerment adorns every manifesto.
Thank
you so much.
