Poem: “So What? All’s Good”

TW: Mentions rape, gender based violence

And once

A khaap said –

So what if he threw acid on you.

It was love.

A court said –

So what if he raped you.

Marry him.

A women cell said –

So what if she abetted to crime against you.

She is like sister.

A society said –

So what if there’s patriarchy.

You got education!

A cyber cell said –

So what if you were hacked.

At least money didn’t go.

A psychiatrist said –

So what if you feel suicidal.

Take sleeping pills.

A doctor said –

So what if you can’t afford medicine.

Sell your land.

Rich said –

So what you don’t earn that much.

Sell your honesty.

Entertainers said –

So what you are sensitive.

Become our target.

Blind followers said –

So what you lost someone in pandemic or war.

Support our leader.

Criminals said –

So what we murdered.

Now we are politicians.

So what?

All is good!
