I'm NOT a puppet

#JusticeForAsifa

Don't touch me 

You may bleed.

Don't stare at me

you may not survive.

I am a rose

but rotten.

I am a breeze

but blown away

away from YOU.

I am a mirage or an oasis,

Goddess of obscenity.

But, not a speck of dust

by the roadside.

Nor a nude puppet

to be played 

with your dirty fingers!

You left me speechless! I can already feel the goosebumps. This poem really means a lot. In Indian society nowadays we girls are really becoming puppets. strong feeling expressed by simple words. Great job! #claps #JusticeForAsifa

Expressed to perfection. That simple words can hurt and not heal so easily. It can wound as deep as a knife cut.

I admire you for being plugged into the social issues of our times & for showing your concern by writing a powerful poem about asifa. I’m sorry to say that I find the many injustices too overwhelming to write a poem every time some outrage happens (take the regular stream of school shootings in the USA for example). Instead, I try to escape thru fun or funny or zany messages (it can’t be done, the tragedies still drag down my heart). But I still very much appreciate poets like you who show your caring & concern thru your words. Use your power for awareness, my friend! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
