A Shrill Cry For Justice! Poem by Umasree Raghunath

A shrill cry for justice!
Date: 27 Nov 2013

When Justice walks away with closed eyes
The world looks at you with anger
You know it’s not your guilt and fear
But the system makes you dwindle in tears

If the truth prevails and justice regains
Yet, there can be no solace to the loss
It’s for every woman who is harassed
And shines away from the public gaze

Feeling victimized by the situation
And further more by the judiciary
Vulnerable victims become closed
Feeling time will heal than the justice

You would have faced the odds once
But the grueling investigations continue
Making you relive those moments of horror
Time and again till you dare to seek justice

Why is our system so insensitive to emotions?
With its rotten roots and dusted old laws
Media frenzy add to the gory of tales
Breaking News breaking away all morals

Who are they feeding this tape records
Again and again as the public feel injected
With information overhaul and humiliation
Children fearing their own parents and elders

Every man looked up with suspicion
Freedom of being happy is gone in the Nation
That instead of healing the sadness,
Shamelessly promotes it to wide spread

In the name of truth search, we kill the humanity
Silent suffering makes people heal faster
Than fighting for in-achievable justice on the roads
Social Media propagates the causes with no reason

Others suffering always is an interesting story
STOP this Humiliation! In the same of seeking Truth!
Justice should happen fast and rightfully
Without victimizing the victims to moral death

Justice should refine to the today’s world
Recycle the old laws books that are hundred years old
There should be fear to do harm to anyone
Not a system with loopholes to escape and intimidate

Justice is not just a sense of protection
Justice should be a way of reformed security!
Hope this Nation wakes up to the call of the victims
And learn to protect our honor and dignity!
