Sins of the blameless

Durga

Vile minds supporting the depraved souls

Suffering in a world where the victims get blamed, and the tainted hearts get praised

Exploitation of women's bodies rises like a growing monster,

Yet the demon is worshipped in the same land where girls are covered with the blanket of insults

Accusations arise for what they wear, where they go, to crumple our thoughts

But when a child is violated, why does society's verbose mouth stop?

Child marriages occur for the safety of girls instead of the blooming flowers of love

But when a married woman gets assaulted, what alibis are they going to shove?

In the name of protection, the female body and mind have been caged in the four walls of the house

But when the cage itself is filled with lustful creatures, how are they going to save us then?
