It describes the chaos and violence that occurred during the election, with thugs and hoodlums intimidating voters and stealing ballot boxes.

It highlights the bravery of those who fight for the right to choose and pave a path to a new dawn of democracy, where the people's voice reigns supreme. Ultimately, the poem is a call to action for the nation to strive for a more just and equitable democracy, where the people's voices are heard and respected.

Financial dependence and the fear of social ostracism force them to endure the unimaginable, their voices muffled by the weight of societal expectations. Mothers, daughters, and sisters are all victims of this vicious cycle, where the notion of "family honor" is used to justify the brutal suppression of their rights and dignity.

This is a story that will leave you breathless and disturbed, a story that will challenge your perceptions and force you to confront the harsh realities of a society that is deeply entrenched in oppression. It is a story that will make you question the very fabric of our society and the values that we hold dear.
