They are wrong to think they're free to spend a happy time;
Very wrong to have tempted the innocents to commit the crime.
They are wrong for having celebrated a joyous night;
Very wrong to have gone out in those dazzling, gleaming lights.
They are wrong to have worn the clothes that they desired;
Very wrong that towards the poor souls, a wrong signal they fired.
They are wrong for looking good on any occasion;
Very wrong to have thought a Yes or No is their decision.
They are wrong to beautify themselves for their heart's elation;
Very wrong if they want to be able to smile at their own reflection.
They are wrong to think they wouldn't have to suffer like Sita;
Very wrong for wanting to love Cheap Thrills as done by Sia.
They are wrong to feel their condition is any better than Draupadi's;
Very wrong to wish anyone would stop their respect's robbery.
They are wrong to think protests and marches would change a thing.
Very wrong not to themselves cut their still maturing wings.
They are wrong to think that humanity is still alive;
Very wrong to believe that their dignity could still survive.
I highly condemn blaming the men for such calamities;
For it's the girls who go around saying, "Do to me, whatever you please."
The pain is all normal, they are at fault for not being strong;
No one needs to take any action, loud and clear, I say that they are wrong!
