Thanks to Deluge of #metoo

Many men Stand Condemned

And Instantly pronounced as Guilty till proved innocent


The Interim period is painful

Lifelong reputation gets crumbled

Social Stigma keeps haunting

It is name and shame


Why can not identity of alleged accused too be protected

As that of alleged victim

Because the whole social standing is at stake

For both, not alleged victim alone


And Until proven guilty, it must be

An In-camera affair and not announced from rooftop

From Screaming media and social networks


And after due enquiry

Frivolous charges, if any

Can there an inbulit punishment for wrongful allegations


To deter potential misadventure of thrill of a sadist

Reporting consensual acts as coercion

Distorting an act of free will as an act of ill will

It is time for #Mentoo to react and reject

Increasing abuse of five much abused alphabets #metoo

For five seconds of light and fame.
