The Rape Capital
Humanity? Is that what we crave for? Does it even exist?
Every other day a woman is raped in this city. A few hours back, a girl was gangraped in a moving bus.
She is fighting against death. You and I will eventually forget this incident and move on with our lives but even if that girl survives, will she ever be able to live?
She wasn't raped because she was drunk. She wasn't raped because she was wearing skimpy clothes. She wasn't raped because she was travelling alone.
She was raped because someone raped her. That someone is a part of your city. He walks in front of you, behind you, beside you. He follows you everywhere. He lives inside you.
Sleep blurs into memory and lies awake in the arms of darkness. Flashes of Breaking News knock at the inner folds of my mind. Transclucent dreams meet the night's inkpot and drift away into hateful nightmares. The Rape Capital doesn't allow me to sleep.
Do we need another gang-rape before we start acting? Castrate the rapists in public. Why should we keep mum and tolerate gruesome brutality in the name of human rights? Human rights are not for demons! Justice delayed is justice denied.

Zombie
Yesterday he murdered her, Today she killed herself... He exists in her dreams...She exists in his nightmares...They no longer know each other; They no longer pretend to be in love...They aren't happy, they aren't sad...they have drifted apart and so has time...
I think she is dying, I know she is...I think I know her, I know her very well...She does not feel anything anymore.She is numb to all endearments...She died the day they raped her...She can see them everywhere...They are hollow men, faceless and empty...They have a body but possess no soul...Her body is ragged, her mind weary, but yes she still possesses what they do not...She has a soul...They are blind to folly, deaf to justice, mute to goodness...They made a zombie out of her and yet, she gets up each time they try vanquishing her...
The silver lining, yes all her life she looked for it...Perhaps she found it...Yes she found it...but she found it that midnight when it rained so heavily that it drenched all her desires...That night the whole world slept in peace...Yet, she did not sleep...She tried crying with happiness but she could not, she tried crying with sorrow and again she failed...In him she found the silver lining but even he murdered her, brutally, mercilessly...She keeps failing and yet she has faith...Faith in her dreams, even though she does not sleep...

Black Blood
[Photograph taken by Anukriti(Me)...highlights a shadowy blood stained hand(my own) seeking justice in its blurred reality.]
The abyss of my melancholic mind,Has eyes created to be perpetually blind!
Festered in this is, an inconsolable individual's soul.
That breaks and beholds the blurred vision of a goal!
The body is molested by Desire;raped by Hope...
Its essence is intoxicated by an incurable dope!
And thus,the forces of Repose,Anger,Greed and Sin are...
RAGS of beggary that appear anesthetizing from afar!
We desire Pretense, Artifice, Invention, and Disgusie;
The Tempest proclaims,"all debt is PAID of he that dies!"
PAID imprudently at the showroom of this world...
So that the manikins of pestilence, at our faces are hurled!
They isolate my identity, they deface my face!
And yet am I supposed to belong to this place?
My language is lost, my happiness is entombed as dead!
The colour of my blood is indeed black!It can never be red!
And yet am I supposed to belong to this place?
My language is lost, my happiness is entombed as dead!
