(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?
