Manual Scavenging

Manual Scavenging

It is a banned practice that is still around,

And, that enough, should (more than) astound,

But there ought to be ACTION and common ground,

Putting an end to something so inhumane shouldn't confound.

It’s an evil that all of society is better off without,

Lives of thousands needlessly put at stake isn’t trivial, no doubt.

So, concrete steps, by those in power, should be taken throughout,

To let the very necessary changes be brought about!

And then, finally, why not do what should have been done long before,

And kill the profession before it kills any more!

 

Wars...Really?

 Wars...Really?

Yes, they look terrific when they walk all in sync,

Knowing too well that their life could be shattered in an eyeblink…

But doesn’t this give something for everyone to think?

We need peace, not wars...now, let's let THAT sink!

Why not resort to diplomacy when “defence” can get too bloody?

Or talk of the mental damage done too in the aftermath study?

These aren’t just numbers because someone’s had to lose a parent or a buddy,

For all the long-lasting agony and heartbreaks, WHO EXACTLY take responsibility?

So, the next time we think about ways of resolving an issue, let’s wisely choose,

Because while nations may, in wars, win; humanity can only lose!

Patriarchy's Ugliest Trick

Patriarchy's Ugliest Trick

They may try to brainwash you, but please don’t be fooled,

And understand that patriarchy has, for a sad long time now, INCOMPETENTLY ruled!

And know that it’s the patriarchists who need to be schooled,

So that nobody’s thoughts and feelings get forcefully overruled!

 

They will try to pit females against one another,

But it is patriarchy that is the enemy, rather,

They will try to bombard you with their regressive thoughts but don’t bother,

And instead, try not to let misinformed minds pollute any further!

 

So, “a woman is a woman’s worst enemy”, the next time you hear,

Do counter it with "then who is a man's worst enemy, dear?"
