When you see your uncle
breathing the air of worry
during his daughter’s marriage
to pile up the money for dowry,
don’t let the silence hold you.
Raise your voice
Raise your voice
When you see the sweet aunty
in your neighbourhood
getting scolded & beaten every day
Still, she tolerates that with fortitude,
don’t let the silence hold you.
Raise your voice
Raise your voice
When you see your sister
enduring mental torture
because biology blessed her
with a female toddler,
don’t let the silence hold you.
Raise your voice
Raise your voice
When you see your brother
along with his other friends
making fun of a girl
for her short dress,
don’t let the silence hold you.
Raise your voice
Raise your voice
When you see your mother
betraying her hobbies
and between her job & household
making her life cease,
don’t let the silence hold you.
Raise your voice
Raise your voice
When you see your father
listening to the taunt of society
for allowing you for higher studies
due to his broad mentality,
don’t let the silence hold you.
Raise your voice
Raise your voice
When you see your bestie
weeping without wanting to discuss
for being improperly touched
in a crowded city bus,
don’t let the silence hold you.
Raise your voice
Raise your voice
When the stench of injustice
against women
suffocates your conscience
& binds you in guilt glen,
don’t let the silence hold you.
Raise your voice
Raise your voice

the wickedness
the injustice
of the other
joined to one’s own
corruptness and sin
it is my duty
over the dark side
to become aware of myself
(with the pointing finger
pointing three fingers at myself)

Freedom Such A Divine Gift
With A Woman’s Gift of Life
Sort of Like Your Interesting
Name in Hindi Where the
First Part Means
Interesting And
The Second
Part Means
Divine And
Worthy of Respect
If only Namaste For
All Castes of Human Life
For All Differences and Variances
That Make All the Colors for Living Success
Where We All May Sprout Wings Unafraid to
Lift Each Other Up Unafraid to Look Up in Respect
of Seeing
Others
Either
Flying
Lower or
Higher Valley
High Mountain Low
Same Love For All in
Respect of Freedom For Wings Unbound
And Untethered With Strings to Keep us
Trapped
in Caves
Oh Tradition You
Exclude By Very Nature
Oh Freedom You Stretch the Boundaries
You Break the Boarders You Bring Humans
Together to Progress More With Wings Yet True
Dear FRiEnD As Even Science Shows in the General
Animal Kingdom 80 Percent Are Considered Rovers and
20 Percent Are Also Observed As Sitters As Boats Require
Anchors For Safe Harbors When Rough Seas and Storms Come
Yet Without Sails to Explore Fair Winds and Following Seas We May
Surely
Never Find
The Greens
And Colors
of Paradise in
Abundance to Thrive
Naked Enough Whole Complete
How Blessed am i For Ancestors With
Sails Enough to Seed me in this Fortune
of Paradise i Live And True Where You LiVE iN
India is Green And Colorful too Yet Also True Abundance
Brings Socio-Economic Difficulties When Humans Thrive Over
What the Resources Bring It’s Always a Balance For As Scarcity
Comes Again So Do Anchors of Tradition That Sadly Will Keep Us
Trapped
in ‘Safe
Harbors’
That May Offer
Little Freedom to
Those of Us With Wings
So Those With Butterfly Colors
Fly Away And Make The Fortune
of Folks Seeded Like me SMiLes
All That Those Butterfly Wings Do
In Roaring Thunder For Freedom’s Breath
True Never Silent
Only RiSinG
Out of Caves
to Bring New
Art To Dreams
Coming To Fruition of Colors More..:)
