For The Survival…#poetry

I didn’t understand
how to use a protractor
in the ‘Angles and Triangles’ lesson,
so I asked my sir to explain again.

Sir told me to wait a while
after school because he didn’t want
to waste his period.

I sat in the classroom.
Sir came
and started touching my fingers
instead of teaching me
geometric figures.

He deliberately dropped
the chalk
and told me to take it off
and he started looking
at my body curves.

I was growing physically
and mentally,
what was my mistake?
Sir was well educated and mature,
didn’t he understand his mistake?

Why do we girls
have to face such social problems
when we grow up?
As we girls get older,
why do their eyes scan us?

Even if they have girls
of our age,
why do they sow thorns
in the path of other girls
by making their daughter’s life bearable.

I want to tell everyone,
let all the girls live
their lives their way.
Let’s get together
for the Survival of our daughters
and other girls.
