I sit and cry today..

I cry for the girl being raped at the moment

The excruciating torment

That penetrates through her body

And breaks her self-dignity

I cry for the girl who luckily escaped

And is gasping for breath

Hot tears rolling down her cheeks

Fear and disgust feeling in heaps

I cry for the young son

Whom the doctor just told that no more is his beloved mum

Sad movies to watch because you need a good cry.

Ahh, look at how he breaks into shrieks

And weeps and wailsand whimpers and sniffles

To break into shrieks yet again!

I sit and cry today

I cry for the lover

Who flew high in love

Whether drunk or sober

And who had thought it would never be over,

But, alas! Alas!

I cry

I cry for the little child

Who watches his parentsfight each other wild

And who frantically wishes they allied

I cry today

For the young daughter

Who slaughters her dreams and tosses away her wishes

Because that’s what her parents taught her for being a girl in rural Nepal

I cry for the innocent man put under lock and key

For the crime he didn’t commit

And is waiting desperatelyto be freed

Ahh, the desperation he feels to breathe!

I cry for the elderly lady

Whose fading vision

Waits for a glimpse of her son

But hey, death is due sooner!

I cry today

For the rivers of tears curving ways through cheeks

And forests of fear galloping upon little meek-s

I cry, I sit and cry today!
