The Same Saga

Walking on the streets
never felt safe, adjusted.
Masked, covered, armed with pepper spray, small knife, marched.
School was the first place
to socialise and make friends
And to learn to be alert, attentive always.
Hospitals according to them
are safest place.
It was safe for woman to be stabbed to death.
You decided how we
dress, walk, talk, laugh, exist.
Why are we given birth if this is how you treat?
