AFSPA* raped me ... !



Where is the respect for women
Where she is living isolated ?

Where is the respect for women
Where comouflageds are free to prey on her flesh ?

Where is the law
Where it is made lawful to do so!?

Where is the right for her
Where she is denied to claim for ?

Where is the mankind to help her
Where there is none to feel sorry
                                           For
Her torn cloths ?

Where is the help
Where no ear to turn on her cries ?

Where her tears wailed everywhere      
Where, couldn’t find
Where to drain into,
Where, at last, her room was left
                                    With her
                          Suicide Note ?

Nineteenth of July
A decade and a year ago.
For the day
Sun was about to set away.
At the Verandah of the house
I, my husband and my father-in-law
                                  Were sitting…

Those camouflageds came,
Arrested my husband
Beaten up him before my eyes
Father-in-law cried a lot to stop them.
All his efforts went in vain !

Some other forced me get me inside,
They pushed me, dumped me inside
                                    They won  !

They won to dump me into the bed,
All my cries went in vain !

They won to feed on my flesh
     Their stomach full,
All my cries went in vain !

My tears drained everywhere
But none to say for me !

My tears drained everywhere
But not a space to say for me !

All my tears drained everywhere
      After which
I beg to the world
For my husband, my father-in-law, my mother –in-law
                                                       To console them
                                                                      With a
                                                         Suicide Note !!
