We need Change

"It is a mayhem in here!"screams the brain

I yell - "Easy it isn't, learn to live.

Cruelty hurts, the agony is immense

survive you will; abandon those thoughts, ignore the dip.

Cower and surrender, and you shall reap,

few moments of joy, safety and peace.

Learn the 'rut-walk' not  the 'slut walk'

obey the system, bow , don't tease."

Aghast the brain turns mute, the heart is inflamed

But what of love and compassion, of joy

forgiveness and humility that we seek.

"Nay!" my voice grows cold."You are easy to steal

Harshness is all that awaits, egos clash in battles many;

Gullible organ! Trust is precious. Speak no more.

You clutter me with feelings worth no penny."

"No right of birth or death." whimpers the brain softly.

"No right to choose the wise way.

No rationality in actions, is it the end?

Millions meet a gruesome end, each day

A woman no equal, imprisoned and denied

Thrown to rape and plunder extreme,

Morsel missing from hungry stomachs,

Death and despair clog mankind's dream."

"Is no man brave, no soul true?

To smite such apathy to dust"

It is my turn to stay quiet, as all echo

"To dust, to dust we say teach them a lesson first!"

"Quiet all!" I snap. " The world is you.

Neither punishment nor hanging, no curse or chanting

But, a will to change, the battered self to true

shall carve and create as you dream to see it standing."
