Echoes of Silence: Call of Humanity for Women

By: Aakanksha Roy

Independence is about the freedom one deserves,
a right one must have to live.
A right to breathe, to dream, to write their own story in a world
we call ours.

But why celebrate this freedom, when the smiles of women start to fade?
When silenced screams and cries become reality.
When the voices of the struggling become muted.
When the words become whispers.
When women become prey.
When women lie in the darkness.
And when women are slayed.

And of what you say?
Of their innocence, and for their fragile confidence
Their unspoken indifference, yet also their unconditional kindness.
And for what? To erase the existence of women?
To rid our future of individuals that power the world ahead of us?
To kill the courage of women that once prevailed?
Or to expose the bitter truth of the monsters that lay the initiation
of destruction?

The call for humanity is dead.
Society has collapsed.
Lives have been sacrificed.

Remember the cries, the despair that your ears once held.
The never-ending sorrow that your face once hid.
When you faced the truth.
And the reality of the scary world we reside in.
Where women were taken for granted and not acknowledged.
Where women were not safe.

But this new chapter unfolds now,
A fresh start, a new beginning for all women.
It is our time now and we must collide.
For all women, to unite and rejoice.
For the fight for equality and justice.
To justify the wrongs and make them right.
To cherish those lives that were ceased of humanity.

Once and for all.
