From Shamers, Creepers, Unwanted Admirers to Abusers, Women have seen it all on Social media. Recently, a #MeToo campaign shook the entire world. From Celebrities to Commoners, everyone shared their painful experiences.
But there were many who called it an easy opportunity to gain publicity and defame men.
Power of social media: A boon or A misuse? The Truth remains #UNSPOKEN!
Presenting you my take on this issue.
Because of the time limitations, we have to shorten the poem. Below is the complete poem:
We live in a world of social media trend…
Just a click and your message reaches world’s other end…
And there’s a lot of power in this write and send…
We have a platform to be heard and to defend…
Just recently we saw such a campaign…
A #MeToo tag started a revolutionary chain…
What a commoner, what a celebrity, everyone is coming out of the box…
Horifying revelations are sending huge wave of shocks…
But there are many who claim this #MeToo is a game..
All we desire is to get an easy fame…
Seriously??
Are we supposed to enjoy this public display?
Those lewd comments, how we were touched the wrong way?
Just read those statuses, some girls were just 4 or 5…
Even after ages, those memories are still alive…
For all her life, it was a secret with a seal…
Only now she got the courage to make this big reveal…
As, you can’t handle it, you claim that now she is being violent…
And there are many who ask, that day, why she was silent…
Why she didn’t scream, shout or even react…
If it was so severe to make such an impact…
Well, what they don’t understand that
these abusers don’t wear a tag on their faces…
They are so vicious, that they don’t leave any traces…
And worse, sometimes they belong to the families, friends or workplaces…
Such actions from people who are suppose to care or to bless…
Don’t make you angry or brave, but you feel helpless…
The brain goes numb, the body stone cold…
The embarrassment forces you to wear a blindfold…
As our society only cares about the honor and the pride…
That’s the reason why the girl never cried…
Years ago, in a temple, someone pinched my chest…
For many minutes, the situation was hard to digest…
I still remember those moments, so vivid, so clear…
That paralysis, shame, guilty and fear…
I remember each and every emotion that I felt…
The visuals, those sounds and how that place smelt…
Every #MeToo that you see carries a bag of pain…
Something big or something small, we live it again and again…
Please don’t get surprised how these
tags have filled your Facebook wall…
You are just oblivious about the fact,
that almost every lady around you, have been through this fall…
Not just real life, the internet is also not secure…
Messages, comments or replies; there is a lot to endure…
The hi, the love you, from creepy to abuse…
But then many get offended when we decide to make it a news…
Why the status, you should just block and forget…
By making such scenes, there is nothing you can get…
They say, that we expose them just for the attention…
Sweetheart, he is not the first one that we felt to mention…
There are hundreds of others who are already blocked…
It’s just, We are just totally fed up of being stalked…
And ignoring such morons is the worst we can do…
They get power from our cowardice and move to the next one in the queue…
And what if the next one is not enough blunt or bold…
She is always tought to do whatever is told…
Because her family always made her live in the wraps…
And the harasser is very clever in making such traps….
She makes the mistake of falling for it…
Makes a friend out of someone totally unfit…
The moment she will realise his real intention…
It may be already too late for any prevention…
He will take a screenshot and
will say that she is the one to blame…
And even if she will try, no one will believe her claim…
Because that’s how it works, right?
males can be studs, but females are characterless…
Correct or not, we are always on the wrong side of the guess…
You can’t understand the level of this fright…
This rant, it was all in my mind but it took me days to write…
As I know, there are people who will call it a stunt…
Doesn’t matter how real and strong are these emotions but there will be
always some who are going to call me an attention seeking cunt…
So I have to be loud for such innocent souls…
I have to stand for myself and my sisters against these heartless trolls…
So all people out there who wants us to stay mum…
Who dictate that we are not supposed to beat the drum…
I have a suggestion for you, the one you keep for us in store…
Whenever you see such statuses, can you please just ignore…
As these statues were never meant for you…
We never asked for your approval, if it’s false or if it’s true…
It’s for the ladies out there who have been through such zone…
To let them know that they were never alone…
You can’t help or understand, cool, please just scroll down…
We already have enough, don’t need more negativity around…
After centuries of oppression, finally we are standing against this curse…
Now you just can’t drag us down, because everything bad we will get,
will be greeted back by the worse…
We may look emotional, weak or soft like a feather…
But don’t you dare underestimate us, because now #WeStandTogether…
Please Like, Share and Spread the word…
