As Safe as I'm now !
Ziya Khoja ( _The Unheard 2005 (Kutch , Gujarat)
As Safe as I'm now !
The ticking clock, the crooked fan,
Still petrified, to spill it through the pen
I wonder, it would be easier to enter a Lion den.
Its hyperbole, agreed, but that what I thought then,
The sun was high in a clear sky, I was walking in trees,
When they pounced on me, caught hold of my neck, I tried to flee,
My body hurt severally bad, neither my leg moved nor my hand.
Innocence was killed, soul was ripped, cruelty had no end,
They almost split my body, I couldn't even shout.
Lost in lust, they went in and out and in and out,
My soul left the shattered body, I was so glad,
If i tell God, he will be very sad.
Up here in Heaven, I was blessed to see God,
My Aura enlightened, which was piculiarly odd.
With all my strength, I began to explain, "How?"
He hugged me and said, "I know. You are safe now".
Neither were they politicians, nor were they any priests.
They were filthy merciless humans in the form of beast.
They are not to be blamed alone, soceity is at fault too,
Seeds of difference were planted here, and in hatred it grew.
Go now! Go fight for your caste, community or your political ride,
Afterall, that's what is taught to you, "It's your ego and your pride".
Trust me, nothing comes above love, respect and humanity.
Live together, pray together, dont ever lose this opportunity.
My journey had to end, to spread the strong message across the globe,
Even the thoughts of toying girls and forgetting her as a Godess should elope.
Please dont pray for me, instead I will pray for you all now
On earth, every single girl should be safe, as safe as I am now.
As Safe as I'm Now!
