A Safe Place? Where Can It be?

By Pavithra R

The Car driver said,

"Hey girl, get into the car.

This is the safe place to hide.

Your friend won't find you easily"

But the car driver,

Lowered his pants

Making the child to

explore the horrendous mystery.

The uncle on the bus said,

"Hey lady, I have space for you,

Come and stand next to me.

You will be comfortable in the crowd"

But the uncle

Stood in a shoulder rubbing intimacy,

Touching her in all the possible ways,

In the sudden jolts.

The brother said,

"Hey sister, don't feel scared,

It's just a game, an adult game.

If you are my sister's friend,

then you are my sister too "

But the brother

Was running his fingers across

her hands, cheeks, lips,

pressing his chest against her breast.

The father said,

"Hey you ! Don't play outside,

It's getting dark. Play indoors.

House is the only safe place to be"

But the father

failed to realised that

there is no place that gives

safety for his daughter.

The only place where,

She can be sound and safe is

A NO MALE WORLD.
