#Metoo

Repressed ‘better half’

Of the human race

Breaks free of the irony

Finds a voice

Fights back

Unafraid of calling out

Who objectified her

Pricking the bubbles

Of the power-intoxicated

Bringing them down to earth

With an unexpected thud.

It was not an earthquake

That kills people

But …

The lava will burn

Uncontrolled lust

Fingers that couldn’t resist

Lips that bite the soul,

Tremors in conscience

Will rock the world

For times to come

Till it gets etched in culture
