Blessings on(Jargon)

*For saying Nay she was called names 

For saying NO she was punched twice 

So is saying NO a crime too.  

The clouds cried as the sky blew away seeing what had befallen her. 
Due to her cruel person of her father,,

, been blown  away by her shouts of pain & suffering. 
Why me… Why me…….. crying. Not to forget the  doubts in her mind — “Should I take my life”  

So the government decides to create a taskforce. 
Big press conference, Big launch ceremony, and yet 
Limited manpower, limited funding and zero follow up 
Everyday new reports of dead women in sacks chopped  in pieces 

but they become another pile of files in the office 
And their common response “we shall investigate”. 
While mothers and family cry for justice the culprits still walk free.  

So the government should stop talking  

The government should start working 
Working on releasing funds to speed investigations 
working on adding manpower on the ground to spread  and gain information 
Working on strict laws that defend women and their rights 
Working on toping security so that women may not feel

  scared when walking alone in the streets  

So stop the blaming and be accountable 
For every life is precious.
