CRUSHED FLOWERS
The destiny of flowers Changes in minutes & hours
It feels its cherished & loved
Right from the stage of the bud
So beautiful, lovely, awesome
Pretty pink, purple hue
The poor bud has no cue
There are so many predators around
To put them to the ground
Crush them with their feet
In more horrific ways than she can think
Remember you pure gentle thing
People may surround you for more reasons than you think!
You think it’s because of you
But in actuality, its because what they can get from you!!!
The lovely smile, if only you know the thought behind!
The twinkling eyes, if only you could see what they visualize
The fun games, fulfilling their desires in its name
Hush my child, be wary, even in the house
So many cats & a single mouse
By the time you grow
You learn & know
At least once you have been messed
The scars, scratches, blood & wounds
Stay in your life in state of doom
Gradually you realize, it’s a phenomenon worldwide
You go into despair
Can you hide anywhere?
Were you made only with this aim
No – You are Gods another name.
It’s the gender bias,
Of the patriarchal masses
Victory in war Is women in trashes
The same tract that gave birth
Is abused by the killing thrust
When you were born naked, she draped you
You feel you are obliged to see someone of her tribe naked
Show her naked, pared her naked
When you were born, so much blood she lost
Now you want to see the blood on her body & flaunt
The breast fed you, to make you thrive
You bite the breast & pain the nipples with all your might
She scolded you to make your life
You hit her badly – those are your vibes
Dear flowers you are not meant to be crushed
Get up together & realize
You have thorns too
Use them as your right
Be together & just fight
The “good men of the universe”
Listen & read the flowers plight
Help the flowers in their fight
So, lets unite…. Yes, let’s unite
A flower is supposed to bloom its not to be crushed!
Crush the crushers
Let’s see fear in their eyes!!!
