Silence- Day Fifteen Of NaPoWriMo

Scratches, bites, bruises and fights
Painful screeches, emotional breaches
While I lay there wed, not saying no,
In his ‘right’ he presumed so-
Mounam sammati lakshanam

Downtrodden, depressed, outrightly oppressed
Chastised, socially downsized, cast aside
While the silence in their death, they couldn’t interpret
In their right, they presumed so-
Mounam sammati lakshanam

Fed up of feeding, bloody waters and lands
Breeding and rearing in constant fear
Of inconsistency, of ill fate and ignorance
While their life found a taste in pesticides,
In their right, the victorious pests presumed so-
Mounam sammati lakshanam

Parades, protest, revolts and unrest
Smoke bombs, pellet guns, lathi charges
While the majority lay spineless and toothless
In their right, they presumed so-
Mounam sammati lakshanam

Bells rang, plates clang, conches blew
Claps and heils, the theatrics, the show
While our hunger had no mercy, no ear
In our right, we can presume so-
Mounam sammati lakshanam
