A CRY FOR JUSTICE

Freedom is for all
All living being possesses the right to be free
All living being has the right of movement
All living being has the right to live
Right to life is for all and not limited to some class of people
That's the law the government made
That's the law that governs the world we live in, our world
.


Now, the world we are used to is no longer there
The world is gone, our world is gone
Our world has been stolen from us right before our very own eyes
We are now like scared crows
Or should I say we are scared
We walk silently in fear
In fear that our life may be caught off anytime soon
Our movement is being limited
.


Our freedom is gone
We have been put into a bondage
We are now preys
Hunted by predators
We run and seek shelter for our lives
But at times the net cast by our predators is so fast and wide and we end up being hunted
Being hunted and killed
.


Our kind no longer walk the street freely
How can we? When there are lots of predators out there
We are now scared of the ones we once called our friends, our lovers
We are now scared of the ones we once felt protected in their bosom
We are scared
Scared at even the slightest noise of a mosquito
For it might be a sign of danger
.


We need our freedom back
We seek our freedom
Can the government give us our desire?
Should we take the jungle route to get justice for the harm that has been done against our kind?
We are the female gender
And we need justice
We need our freedom back
.

This piece is from my heart. I'm sorry dear readers if you don't get the injustice about the female gender this piece talks about. I just want to air my view through this way, currently, in a place where the female gender is oppressed, the females walk in fear even in broad daylight.

Thanks for reading. I'm @prechyrukky

This world is not the same. Its driven by fear and greed now. We have stepped so deeply into the matrix (illusion of our charachter and separation) that we have forgotten that we are the screen not the movie.

the answer is a simple return to stillness. Its there and has been there the whole time. In time this will win over because it has a foothold in everything.

Great post... anytime someone looks at life off stage is art.
