The Voices Which Are Silenced!

Why are the weak, naive and innocent always blamed

For crimes they never committed, why are they shamed?

When they're victims of something so huge

Picking up their faults, all you do is rant and abuse?

Why are their voices always silenced

Humanity dragged down, morality twisted and bent!

Trying to hide from your judging eyes

While you abuse them with hatred and lies!

And when they give up on their lives, you mourn

Organise strikes, protests and candle marches for the pain that was borne

For hiding their pains and blemishes, they're adorn!

But have you looked at their souls, ripped apart and torn?

Reading their stories, silently I cry

When it was time for the truth, why did you lie?

Dragging on their lives, struggling, hiding their tear

Did you see now the extent upto which they bear?

Just pat their shoulder, tell them they did well

Cheer them, why remind them again if they fail?

Think hard, can you give them a reason to live

Hope, smile or happiness, are those things you can't give?
