JUDGEMENT

JUDGEMENT

“Silence please!

Everyone will now stand up!”

Case no. 13: Judge Vs I.

“Prosecution may proceed.”

“Mr. I you’re accused of

Being dramatic, which you are.

Your anger is unjustified.

You have no right to feel sour.

“You’re unworthy of your acclaim.

Your conspiracies go amiss.

The jury declares you guilty.

And the court is dismissed.”

Lips parted and closed, wordlessly.

I stood aghast in unceasing doubt.

“Without a valid proof or argument

How could the judgement come out”?

“No accused pleads guilty.”

The judge scorned and sniggered.

“There are anonymous sources,

Whose reporting we have considered.”

That’s how ridiculously absurd

The sophisticated tattletale sounds.

When the jobless forces join in

To play a game of hare and hounds.

In the courtroom named society,

Hostile assessments are made every day.

Everybody’s character is judged

Based on what appearances convey.

To cover their underachievement

And a courage of size: spoonful,

The spineless gossipers go miles

And tear down the successful.

Feeding the poor is publicity

Expressing opinions, undemocratic.

Feeling wronged is overthinking

Standing up for right, dramatic.

All these fingers pointing at you

Will soon make you question yourself.

Through no fault of your own

Their insecurities will transfer to oneself.

Should I walk out of this courtroom,

Or should I get other people tried?

Because everyone is I,

It’s a choice you get to decide.

 You are not a slut.

You are not a whore.

You are not what people think.

You don’t deserve the abhor.

You didn’t choose polyandry,

It was a nonsensical fate.

A man’s sly desire,

But you get all the hate.

We hail Karn’s sacrifices.

We all feel his pain.

He is held like a hero.

Yours go in vain.

When the rules of a game

Became bigger than your honour.

The respected men, shame,

Pushed humanity to a corner.

Turned a deaf ear to your screams

As you were disrobed to their gaze.

The honourable men errant extremes

But dirt is shoved in your face.

A symbol of rape victim

Slut shamed by the society.

A fodder of the chauvinists,

A pacifier of their insecurity.

But you don’t need our sympathy,

You are fire in disguise.

The sexism,however, is thriving

So I incessantly despise.

You are not a slut.

You are not a whore.

You are not what people think.

You don’t deserve the abhor.
