The whole world is wishing this would happen soon but no one is ready to take the first step and set an example - WOMEN EMPOWERMENT.

As ShE wAlKs AlOnG!^!..

[Note: This poems talks about the Delhi Rape incident]

Exiting the office doors after work

   She was not feeling herself tonight

The dusty roads looked alien to her

   Still more adding to her plight

She had always traversed these pavements

   Never having even a pint of fret inside

But now, her heart was inked with dread

   After learning how women faced deride

On a morning, routine like any day

   She had gone into a terrible state

On reading through a horrible incident

   That had ended an innocent girl's fate

The media had tailed in soon enough

   And the news spread like rapidfire

Creating a ripple throughout the nation

   With mourning citizens making a prayer    

She pictured the news clip, a week old,

   Which she had not been able to digest

Her thoughts lingered over the late 

   Maiden, a victim to few guys zest

Since then, the Delhi roads at night

   Posed a sinister threat to her eyes

And while returning home, she had merged

   with the crowds, which she thought wise

But tonight, she had restlessness pangs

   Why should she stay silent forever?

Hiding in the shadows did not suit her

   She would never cower for whatever

Not being able to be physically strong

   Was neither her shortcoming nor mistake

The supreme power had wanted her that way

   It was high time for her to wake

Sheer muscle power was not her forte

   That belonged to the domain of Monsieurs

She knew where she had her strength from;

   It lay inside that headstrong mind of hers

As long as she walked these roads any day

   She decided with an iron grit inside

To stand upto any form of filthy injustice

   And never let any rogue seize her pride

Everywhere around, our women are growing

   Stronger through each and every minute

Just like this determined Delhi girl

   Who will never stay anymore quiet

   

Running madly behind material growth

   This nation has forgotten respect;

Pure respect that contributes toward

   Rooting out the willful neglect

Womens' Day Celebrations do not even

   Matter anymore; CELEBRATE WOMEN!!

The day our nation makes that happen,

   Mother India will show us Heaven!!
