High On Hopes

It has been termed as one of the

“unnatural offenses”,

Theyʼll be imprisoned for life or will have to pay a fine,

Is this a question on Godʼs very creation?

Illegalizing their existence and

Acts which otherwise is very normal.

Taunts, insults, embarrassment is

All that they have been going through so far,

No one dared to go

Against the law until “Section 377” was barred.

All hail Justice Dipak Misra, who headed the panel of judges at the

Supreme Court of India,

The peaceful protests and marches, at last, bore some fruit

And gave respite to them.

They can now roam freely with their heads held high,

Live, love, got loved and respected just like any other person passing by.

And now, with all my heart, I can finally, say,

Go out, and be proud and live your life being gay!
