(WO)MAN POWER
Man by nature is not a social being
He grabs every opportunity to sting
If he sees a woman being alone
His harmones act on their own.
If in crowd, he tends to grab or grope her stealthily
Not at all bothering about her feelings really
If she avoids making a scene out of it
He considers it to be her consent.
If alone, he gathers enough courage
He manages to disrobe her with rage
She may try to protect her modesty
He won't sacrifice male ego so easily.
He will succeed in raping her
She is now highly terrified rather
He absconds without a hint
She gathers herself to sprint.
If he has associates who yearn
She would be gangraped in turn
If the rage doesn't subside
They will even torture her to hide.
When they come to proper senses
Will not hesitate to clear the mess
And flee from there to avoid disaster
By the time authorities notice her.
This keeps happening all the time
No law able to stop this crime
No help from reserved pink seat
Evil men, even juveniles, will sprout.
Women have to find own means
Use pepper sprays chilli powders
Keep away from total strangers
Just be aware of surroundings.
You always carry cell phone in hands
For emergency add trusted contacts
Learn to make emergency calls
Or clandestinely click photos.
Show that women have power too
Men can't take them lightly to woo
After all you are half the population
How can you be less than anyone?
