Oh Asifa!
Oh Asifa, forgive us for we’ve descended into our darkest hell
Which innocent girl is next, only the devil that dwells can tell
This land we love and call our own, has repeatedly let you down
Scrotal sacs lodged in our heads, erase all judgment sound
Oh Asifa, that fateful day, when you your herd did graze
How could you have missed out on that disturbing, saffron gaze?
Could it have been the notion of temple meant to genuflect?
Bore witness to the horror unfold as animals over your body bent
Oh Asifa, all of eight, too young to comprehend
Left behind a mangled mess, that this would be your end
But don’t you fret, don’t you get lonely, a friend is on her way
At 86 wounds, she’s a battered corpse, together you both can play
Oh Asifa, there’s Jyoti too, who met a similar fate
Six years ago, we set this right, now find you at heaven’s gate
The men in power call you their daughter, say they’ll hang those men
Who prey on you and feast your flesh, but let us not pretend
Our sins too deep, our skin too thick, this nary is a solution
Neuter those animals, let live & regret, so shatter their illusion
Oh Asifa, we’ve lost the plot, the path and all that’s in between
This land we love and call our own, has lost its’ glorious sheen
With half our race made of your kind, how can we look ahead!
As we stalk and leer, rape what’s near, leaving you cold and dead
Each childhood plucked, every life so sucked, our heads do hang in shame
No matter which way this story goes, we will never be the same!
