Kill her! Kill her!
“Kill her! Kill her! Roaring and screaming
All I can hear is revengeful laughter
Pushing and beating, stripping my cloths
Tried so hard to save myself but in vain
Are all these men gone mad and crazy?
Are all these men no more human???
Were all these men so cruel all this time?
Were all these men acting perfectly normal?
I looked with hope but dark in broad daylight
The men I knew wore a new face
Some pulled my hands calling me names
Some touched me feeling me as a doll
I am born in a land named Mother
Where women worshiped as goddess
Is this the way mother to be treated?
Is this the way goddess to be worshiped?
I can’t see my way, I can’t cry aloud
Tears blocked eyes, fear chocked voice
Is this the way to mount of Calvary?
Am I dragged and cursed to be crucified?
Where is Simon to help me carry my cross
All I saw the riffles bathed in blood.
My beloveds are lying not able to hear
They have already reached their Calvary.
Where is Veronica to wipe my face?
All I saw my reflections bathed in fear
They stand aside shivering in tread
Folding hands covering their face
No one to rescue and defend my plight
As they parade over me again and gain
They covered me with my nudity
Savoring my woman hood as nectar
O mother land! O land of Goddess
Why my voice has no sound?
Why am I still being crucified?
Why there is no law to cover my nudity?
