A night unlike another,
Just a guy, just a girl.
Medical was her dream,
Dreams that could fill the world.
She was a busy girl,
In a society that hardly cared.
Got on the wrong bus,
They sat in front, paid the fare.
.
She was molested, assaulted & *****.
She was brutally murdered. So was the truth.
Thrown off on a sidewalk, not one soul waved an glance. Hardly, a person who helped. Only those who stared and looked.
.
The nation was outraged, the public was on the streets.
The name was one, the girl united us.
Gave us a motive, while her mother weeped.
.
That one night was more barbaric than ever,
None that the words of a writer could express.
What happened after was a movement,
About time our country finally repressed.
.
Call all the politicians, call the officials.
I being a man in such a nation will not, I repeat. WILL NOT TOLERATE ANY OF THIS.
I demand justice, I demand my mother, my sister, my females friends to feel protected. I want them to rest assured whenever then step out in night, I want them to be comfortable and happy in whatever they wear. They should not be considered as objects. NO. They are what MADE you. Know that, Remember that & Respect that.
