Acid and Flash

Now hours have been passed,
Or may be years ago,
She told, I don't like,
When on the road,
Flash of light, from a car or bike,
Make my face so blingalicious,
Monsters eyes anatomizing the expressions,
As if to hold the feelings of soul,
Faces are not souls,
But souls have faces,
A day, this flash of light on face,
turned into Acid,
Award for refusal to a demon,
The face, the soul,
The little earth and my little sky,
And all those dissected feelings,
Collectively burned,
The orbits of living,
To dance, to chirp, to joy, to achieve,
The background and foreground aspirations,
Are only to hide,
Only to hide life,
I crave, yes I crave,
Only for medieval Justice,
A face for a face,
A soul for a soul,
And Acid for the Acid .

Author's Note

Acid attack on women are most cruel crime,, we have seen many incidents, I believe only medieval justice is the justice in this case.

An ugly man may still go far in the world of business, finance, war - the worlds of men. It may be a shame but, it is not the same for an ugly woman. Even Medieval Justice will not equalize for men and women are not equal, we are not the same. Woman was made to nurture man. Man was made to protect woman. We are both failing. Our society crumbles. Everyone pays. Unequal payments.
A magnificent poem.

Acid on a woman. This is a terrible act. I understand the anger. Bad deeds need the same act in return. It had become a scary world. Thank you for sharing the powerful words and meaningful words.
