Darkness swirling around me,

I see facets of human

I would rather they not exist

A young woman gang raped, brutally beaten

Thrown away not so much like garbage naked.

She fought to survive, doc fought with her

Her last word were “I want to live”

The Girl Died.

A life of promise,

A life of support for her ageing parents

Hundred promises, extinguished.

World is in turmoil, solemn on the streets

Red rage, helplessness in people mind

What punishment do we meet out to those six guys?

Day before I witnessed a brutal decision of a young man,

To end his life, blood seeping around his broken bones.

Why did he jump to his death?

Why did he gave up on his life?

Had he lost as much as that raped girl?

Had he suffered as much as her?

Raped, beaten brutally, broken bones, intestines removed?

In spite all she wished to live, she fought, oh how she did

While young man you just gave it away!

I am angry with you young man for wasted life,

All those unfulfilled ambitions, for all those promises you made

Maybe a shattered lover

Definitely broken parents.

I am angry that you broke my home sanctity

I did not deserve to see the gruesome broken body.

Every day has shades of darkness in them

I do not give up no matter what the strife.

Corporal punishment, humiliation, personal failures,

Lost love, deserted by my all loved ones,

Dowry threats, my honour impinged

Amongst all this I stand tall.

That girl wanted to live

You died.

I live I fight.

I WILL not give up, I never will

I am a sun to burn your soul, a light that will warm your core.

With all the heartbroken, strife’s around me

I still look the sun in eyes

I may be abused, I might get hurt

I might be harassed, I might be insulted

I might stand alone in eve of my life, might alone die,

It’s a pledge to myself,

No matter what I walk the path towards light.

I will find beauty and warmth in darkness

Starry nights, lightning storms,

Moon reflecting its glow in watery glass,

Fireflies flitting with all there might.

Light and dark two facets in this life,

Firm I stand facing towards light.
